The American Commitments national panel framed four recommendations about addressing diversity in the college curriculum. As explained in American Pluralism and the College Curriculum (AAC&U, 1995), the recommendations propose that every student should: acquire knowledge of the diverse cultures, communities, and histories that comprise United States society; connect this knowledge to a continuing engagement with democratic ideas and aspirations; develop experiential as well as formal understanding of these topics; and develop deliberative capacities for a world in which unitary agreement does not, and is not likely ever to, exist. In identifying these goals for diversity in the curriculum, the panel report warns against the hidden message of many diversity requirements that view courses on world cultures and United States diversity as interchangeable or that leave attention to United States diversity optional.
