I think it's an issue of "tokenizing" their black students, instead of engaging them with their permission to be a part of an explicit campaign for diversity. I suspect the issue is she feels like they just wanted her picture to make it look like they are diverse without actually doing the hard work of increasing diversity.

Yeah, I was thinking about it and you articulated it well. Diversity is more than just having numbers. Engaging and actually making accommodations that truly opens the door to minorities. That could be providing scholarship opportunities, asking the few black students they have how they can do a better job of making them feel at home, etc. Just taking photos and plastering them on the front page of their publications doesn't really mean all that much.
