A passage in a Residence Halls Association newsletter says an RHA representative has no interest in representing minorities - a claim the representative denies. The comments were printed in RHA Today last week when LaToya Logan, director of racial ethnic and progressive affairs for RHA, paraphrased Case Hall representative Adam Raezler. "Adam Raezler brought it to my attention that he represents the majority of the people in his hall, whom are white, male heterosexuals, which excludes so-called 'minorities,'" Logan wrote in the pamphlet.

RHA officials are expected to discuss the issue at their meeting at 7 p.m.
