Charrise Lane said she chose to attend Florida A&M University to be surrounded by her own people. Now, because of her unpopular politics on campus, she feels alone.
Charrise Lane, a senior at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, wants to re-establish what would be the only active chapter of College Republicans at a historically Black college or university. There’s just one roadblock: She can’t find an adviser for the group to be recognized on campus.
According to FAMU guidelines, no student organization can become official without one.
“I’ve reached out to professors,” said Lane, a 25-year-old public relations major and registered Republican.
“The two that responded said they couldn’t do it,” she said, adding, “So it’s not like I’m not trying.”
Threats of violence are inappropriate, but you can’t force anyone to like you enough to help you start your club.
Not sure why any professor at FAMU would wish to align themselves with today’s Republican parties of Florida and US. Rejecting affiliation with the likes of Governor Ron DiSaster is free speech.
I wish Ms. Lane well, I’m sure that she’ll have a great career ahead of her as a token black woman at Fox News.
