"A Letter from Sarah Rosen Wartell, President, on the Commitment to Greater Diversity and Inclusion at the Urban Institute

The Urban Institute strives to be a vibrant, creative community of skilled and committed people who bring to their work a whole range of different experiences. That means differences in race and ethnicity, in academic discipline and mode of inquiry, in faith and political perspective, in abilities and disabilities, in service, in gender identification and sexual orientation, and more. But, like many other research organizations, universities, businesses, and nonprofits, the Urban Institute has far to go in its journey toward full diversity and inclusion.

Our mission is to bring evidence to bear on challenges facing an increasingly diverse country, where inequities persist. To advance this mission, I believe we must attract and support diverse identities, experiences, talents, and thought processes within our institution. We must work harder to recruit and retain all the talented people who can provide insights and solutions for an increasingly diverse society. We must think intentionally about how we can learn from and speak to audiences that reflect the rich diversity of America’s communities. We must create safe spaces for hard but trusting conversations among colleagues about their own experiences within our community and how its norms and practices may affect different contributors differently. "

A Letter from Sarah Rosen Wartell, President, on the Commitment to Greater Diversity and Inclusion at the Urban Institute | Urban Institute

"At Brookings, diversity is defined as the characteristics and attributes that make each one of us unique. Diversity has many dimensions, including race, gender, and physical ability. Other dimensions may include, but are not limited to, ethnicity, national origin, nationality, religion, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identification, and age. Even more broadly, diversity includes geographic location, work experience, family status, socio-economic class, and diversity of political thought."

Just more liberal BS. As I said before...be careful WHO is doing the writing.

Diversity is the LAST thing truly intelligent "think tanks" would want. A differing opinion isn't worth a damn if it's wrong. Would you go to the special education class to look for people for your debate team? Then why would you want minorities in your "think tank"? Might as well let people bring in their pets...their ideas are about as clever. When an organization is so concerned with diversity I don't give them much credence.

I am replying but not with a rebuttal of any kind. Reading your response, it is obvious that your beliefs are founded in skin color and not fundamental economics thus with respect I stand back.

I could show you various economic reports about how he gains from the tax reform he proposes more than anyone and its impact on the national debt, but you will reject them out of hand. You can obviously google and read the economist of your choice, but thinking it will not change anything in this conversation.

My point, as I said earlier was that he lied to his followers and how he and his family will gain more from these tax plans than anyone.

ALSO, as I said, I do not think these tax plans will see the light of day in any case. I do hope he pursues the infrastructure spending however.

Economics and "skin color" or more accurately...species...are very interrelated. White have successful, thriving economies...blacks do not...ever.

I Googled YOUR "economists", you posted them, I just checked them out. They're BOTH liberal and therefore biased. No liberal place will EVER blame the minorities themselves for anything. It's ALWAYS something/somebody else not giving them a chance. They'll NEVER say...it's them, they're just not as smart as we are.

As for Trump...I agree with you. He's a crooked as the rest of them. He'll create problems like the rest of them. I just disagree with the people who are "analyzing" his economic plans. They've ALL been liberals, every one you cited were all liberals...and therefore can't be trusted for honesty because their major tenet "equality" is a false lie.

It's like a church...if their main tenet is a false lie, why do you care what else they have to say?

Trump has selected an outstanding group of professionals for his advisor positions. Can't wait to see them in action. Regardless of what one thinks of Trump, he has formed a great team.

Not taking a salary? He's a liar and this will prove to be yet another lie. Pathological liar. Simple.

Great team? What do billionaires know about running the government??

No disrespect intended, but when I see posts like this I wonder how much real world experience a person such as this has had to make such a comment. Successful business people often have a lot of experience in leadership, negotiation, working within budgets, working with many different types of people, and so on. I think these are important qualities for a President. Many things can be learned, some of the above, not so much.

Billionaires already DO "run the government".

And how do you suppose we pay for this without cutting spending elsewhere or increasing taxes? Once you can find a solution for that, you will be the next billionaire.

They borrow it...it's why we owe $20 trillion.

They lower interest rates so they can make the interest payment.

Trump will borrow even more!

Infrastructure spending done correctly is great for the economy. Building of railways, airports, etc will create millions of jobs.

I think I read one time, that long term the economy gets almost 2 bucks for every buck of infrastructure spending.

You hear a lot of talk about reducing regulations, etc.

Most if that talk is because the regulations make infrastructure spending difficult.

You proved my point. Such a poor loser. Sorry, but there is no second place trophy for election losers.

Let me answer that with the fact that Obama had NO/NO leadership experience or training and look at his miserable record and how divided the country is today. These business billionaires have leadership experience. The government is just another business, supposedly a non-profit business. The gov would have been shut down decades ago if it was a private business, as being unproductive. If you can't see where a business person might have an advantage in management, then you are one of the causes of our country's plight.

It would have been forced into bankruptcy. $20 trillion in debt AND borrowing over a $trillion a year? That's bankrupt.

They'll have an advantage all right...in managing to get even richer off the taxpayer. Trump will borrow and spend like crazy...they'll be in on the ground floor. Officially, they can't profit...but we all know how that goes.

Oh well, I guess with you there will never be any satisfaction. Perhaps you should try a socialist country where everyone is supposed to be equal. Better yet, a communist country. Of course, you had better move fast because they are disappearing fast.

Not when corrupt crooks are running things...

ALL governments become corrupt...every one. It's because of human greed for money and power.

Naivety doesn't fix problems.

So if ALL leaders are corrupt, then you would wish anarchy on America instead.
