"I've received a couple letters, two actually, from friends whose children are not going to go to Morris because it is too diverse," Sviggum said at the meeting. "They just didn't feel comfortable there."

Not sure where his friends' spawn will find a school that isn't "too diverse" for them.

I'd forgotten about Sviggum, he was an asshole when he was Speaker of the state House of Reps and an asshole now. Hopefully he will not be renamed to the Board of Regents when his term expires next year. (Another reason to vote Blue, the Legislature selects Regents.)
