This is a significant FIRST step for Morehouse College as they are now considering for admission applicants who live and self-identify as men, regardless of the sex assigned to them at birth...https://www.out.com/news/2019/4/13/trans-men-can-now-attend-morehouse-college?fbclid=IwAR3f7FQWROwF-9_etzuhklIomfo8JTwdcrj_2w7t6mUkbQDYY96lvA-AJkI …
However, there is also another part of the new admissions policy that we must also consider: "Trans* students who begin to self-identify as women while enrolled, the policy dictates that they 'will no longer be eligible to matriculate at Morehouse' & will be forced to withdraw"
"Though exemptions to the rule may be granted, the student would have to go through an extensive appeals process..."
Let us pause here for a second... This language is not in alignment with the admissions policy of Spelman College that states: "If a woman is admitted & transitions to male while a student at Spelman, the College will permit that student to continue to matriculate & graduate"
As we continue to engage in discourse(s) about how to engage queer & trans* students during their college choice processes, during their times as HBCU students AND how we engage queer HBCU alum, we have to look at ALL sides & have some hard conversations! #LiftingAndShiftingHBCUs
