of all educational actions the idea of diversity, as well in creating academic
institutions. This key idea becomes in the American context a special significance, regarding the fact that the American society is based on ideology
that celebrates multiculturalism and diversity as such. This article presents
also an important for the contemporary situation in the United States problem
of combining cultural and ethnic diversity on the economical category
of difference between various classes. Furthermore, it seems to be more
significant in the light of the economic crisis in recent years that affected
