We are all equal again, right?

Certainly on the question of whether "diversity" is "handcuffing." 

Would it be fair to say you are viewing universities on analogy to, say, a pro football team on the issue of diversity?

E.g., suppose every team had to have 14% Black and 19% Hispanic and 3% Asian. Suppose every offensive line had to meet
such standards. Draft day and a Joe Thomas level tackle is available but you can't take him because you already have your
quota of whites. Few Bengals fans would care if their ENTIRE TEAM was100% Black or 100% Pacific Islander, if it won a Super Bowl, right? 

That, or something like, is your model when you speak of "handcuffing," right? A business model. 

In that case, "diversity" might defeat the goal rather than meet it. Hence my question about the goal of a university. 

Is it like a business, in your view? 

I am saying the people that best meet the entrance qualifications setup by the university get in.  No race/gender as qualifications.
