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.
