  Can you let me know what, if any, instructions are provided in their addendum sections?

  It simply says "This section is optional. Other addenda can be attached here, if desired."

  It seems like they're leaving the door open for you to attach your diversity statement as an "other" document. Diversity statements are commonplace in the admissions process, so I would be shocked if they were to become flabbergasted upon reviewing your app.

  K if that's the only instructions they provide, then I would just send a professional email to their admissions office asking if you can provide a diversity statement in your addenda. I think it's a safe bet to say they wouldn't mind at all answering this question for ya. I just asked about the instructions because what you want to avoid at all cost is asking an admissions office a question that can be answered in their instructions or on their website. In this case, I recommend the professional email asking the question because addenda are typically thought of as other things - character/fitness, GPA, LSAT, resume gaps, etc. Does that make sense? Hope this helps.
