In short:
--- Quote ---A former student at Morehouse College in Atlanta filed an HIV discrimination lawsuit against the historically Black men’s liberal arts school seeking over $3 million in emotional distress damages, reports The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The student, who remains anonymous and graduated in May 2020, claims that he disclosed his HIV-positive status in his application essay to the school’s Cinema, Television and Emerging Media Studies program. According to the lawsuit, a faculty member said the program was too demanding for a student with a health issue such as HIV. As a result, the student was not admitted into the program.
The college did not offer a comment to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution because, the school said, it doesn’t discuss pending legal cases. --- End quote ---
