It depends on whose perspective you're taking. For example, diversity matters because a college like Harvard is attempting to prepare its student body to be leaders of society. Being in a diverse environment that more closely mirrors society plausibly is more conducive to leadership growth than being in a homogeneous environment.

Which society? Because last I checked, just China and India made up half the world, and Harvard wanted to produce global leaders or whatever they're calling it these days.

The U.S. society, obviously. The prestige of Harvard is derived from its reputation as being the institution that forges American business and political leaders.
