MiAKA – Alpha Kappa Alpha Lawsuit Rumor Should Spur New Look at LGBT Inclusion at HBCUs
Written by HBCU Digest, Posted in Community
Multiple national media sources are citing kollegekidd.com and its report that Men Interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha (MiAKA) are considering filing a gender discrimination lawsuit against Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated.
While largely unsubstantiated, this rumor turns up the burner on the simmering discussion about homosexuality on the HBCU campus. From the ‘Plastics’ at Morehouse to gay and lesbian organizations finding support and acceptance on campus, HBCUs have an extraordinary branding problem when it comes to positive relationships with LGBT students and faculty at our schools.
