Journalism educators must leap diversity hurdles... ?

I came across this article from the Society of Professional Journalists webpage. It is an excerpt from Sally Lehrman's book News in a New America (I believe it was published in 2005 so it is a bit older) and is aimed at young journalists and their educators; I was wondering what everyone thought.
It basically outlines the lack of diversity in journalism schools across the nation. It says that less than 1 in every 12 full professors are someone of color and only 40% of the teachers are women. The excerpt recommends that teachers integrate more readings by authors of different races to help "diversify" us. It says that if we graduate without knowledge of diversity we will have a handicap in reporting because newsrooms want to hire people who can cover a multicultural society.
Personally, I don't feel that the Walter Cronkite school been very outgoing in trying to diversify us. However, we are living in Phoenix - a place that is definitely not lacking in culture. Do you feel like you're lacking in journalistic diversity?
