Professor Price was a pricing game on the American television game show, The Price Is Right. Played on November 14 and 21, 1977, the game was created by then-Executive Producer Frank Wayne played for a car.
Game play
Professor Price involved up to five questions asked of the contestant. In order to win the car, the contestant had to correctly answer three of the five questions. The centerpiece of Professor Price was an animatronic Professor who nodded or shook his head to indicate whether an answer was right or wrong. He also kept score with right answers on his upward-pointing right hand, and wrong answers on his downward-pointing left hand.
As with Clock Game, Professor Price did not allow help from audience members. The first question was a general knowledge question with a numerical answer between zero and nine. After this question, the contestant was shown the last two digits in the price of the car. The second question was whether or not the answer to the first question was one of the first two digits in the car's price.
Question three was another trivia question, and question four, if needed, asked whether the answer was the remaining digit in the price of the car. The fifth question, if needed, was another trivia question.
At the beginning of the game, Pomp and Circumstance played as the Professor was introduced and when the game was won, an owl perched on top of the set would flap its wings while a grandfather clock's hands spun rapidly.
Professor Price was retired after only two playings, making it the shortest-lived pricing game in history. Its retirement came about because the game had little to do with the show's core concept of pricing items. The game was more of a trivia contest, and a contestant's chances of winning or losing depended on general knowledge.

</noinclude>University and college diversity forums are platforms for faculty, staff and students to gain knowledge, deepen thinking and create an open environment for diversity. They are part of campus diversity culture which started to be prevailing from the beginning of 1990s. Diversity broadly includes not only race and gender but the connections between these and other sources of identity such as religion, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, class and ability. It encourages forms of learning that deepen and enrich the ways we connect across our differences. The main themes of the diversity forums vary from campus to campus. The main themes of the diversity forums vary from campus to campus.
Goals
Diversity forums take various actions to achieve the goals of significantly improving the representation and academic success of members coming from kinds of backgrounds and specialities, among the student body, the faculty and the staff; to improve the classroom and social climate of the campus for those groups; and to increase the depth of understanding by the large majority of us who are not in those groups for their values, customs, and experiences.
We need to encourage civility and respect. We need to look more closely at the day-to-day behaviors that impact the climate in which we all work and learn, not just focus on the larger, more identifiable standards prohibiting harassment and discrimination. We need to be more receptive to difference and become more aware of it as a source of strength and appeal, not an impediment to the maintenance of a status quo.
-Connection Ideas:Statigies for the University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2001
Actions
Increase the number of faculty, staff and administrators of color
Increase enrollment of students from minority backgrounds
Develop relationship with local/regional minority community
Increase the amount of financial aid available to needy students
Close the gap in educational achievement by bringing retention and graduation rates for students of color in line with those of the student body as a whole
