I don't know who these senior editors are -- there may be scores of them, from every possible walk of life -- but it strikes me that this editorial is remarkably smug and self satisfied. If Uni is indeed such a haven of tolerance and understanding, then how do the editors explain the very controversies they try so hard to dismiss? But the point that really stands out for me is when they say (regarding the goals of the minority student advocates), " . . . these are characteristics that Uni already has". Really? The minority students just haven't figured it out yet or what? Isn't this a bit like saying "things are ok for you and you should know it because I'm telling you so". I would think that part of the job of the minority student advocate would be to tell the rest of the school how minority students are doing, not the other way around.
