Within higher education literature, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have been lauded for their exceptional ability to provide African American students with culturally engaging academic and social environments. While the aforementioned may be true, much of this literature has presented HBCU students and these institutions as monolithic entities, with little regard to the ways social identities (e.g., gender, gender identity, sexual identities) shape students' undergraduate experiences. This investigation uses critical discourse analysis to explore the media's coverage and reactions to the Morehouse College appropriate attire policy in order to examine how their campus stakeholders problematized gender expression within this HBCU context. Implications for this research provides insights into how HBCU communities can both recognize and respond to the needs of their diverse queer student populations. This study concludes with highlighting new advancements being made on HBCU campuses that illustrate how they are making their campuses more inclusive of queer students.
在高等教育文献中，历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）因其为非裔美国学生提供具有文化吸引力的学术和社交环境的卓越能力而受到赞誉。虽然上述情况可能属实，但许多此类文献将HBCU学生和这些机构视为单一的实体，很少考虑社会身份（如性别、性别认同、性取向）塑造学生本科经历的方式。本调查使用批判性话语分析来探讨媒体对莫尔豪斯学院得体着装政策的报道和反应，以研究其校园利益相关者如何在这一HBCU背景下对性别表达提出问题。本研究的意义在于深入了解HBCU社区如何认识并回应其多样化的同性恋学生群体的需求。本研究最后强调了HBCU校园正在取得的新进展，这些进展表明了它们如何使校园更加包容同性恋学生。
