As supporters of true diversity on campus, we the undersigned object to the discrimination, misrepresentation and deceptive practices in which Wesleyan has been engaged while trying to enforce its mandate that the University’s residential fraternity houses be “fully coeducated.” Despite the Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) fraternity's good faith effort to achieve a workable solution, Wesleyan unreasonably deprived DKE students of the right to live in their own house during the 2015-16 school year.

Discrimination is abhorrent in whatever form it may exist. President Roth’s pursuit of selective discrimination is an egregious example of political correctness gone wrong, and does a disservice to the high ideals upon which Wesleyan was founded. Not only does President Roth’s personal agenda fail to promote real diversity, it punishes the students he is supposed to protect. We stand united with the DKE chapter of Wesleyan against this blatant hypocrisy, and insist that DKE brothers be allowed to live in their house next year, just as other groups of students on campus are allowed to live in houses based on gender, race, political interest or sexual orientation.
