HBCUs

U.S. News and World Report lists the HBCUs with their rankings, including regional colleges and unranked colleges.  Langston University is unranked; I was surprised by this.  In addition, I was completely unable to find employment opportunities on Langston's website.  Several HBCUs are affiliated with specific Christian denominations and do not include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination statements.  I have not found gender identity or gender expression included in any HBCU non-discrimination statement (yet).  Here are a few of the HBCUs that I would consider being employed by even though they may not include s.o. in their statements.  If the school is part of a larger system that include s.o. and/or gender id/expression at other larger campuses or if a specific department or program includes s.o. and/or gender id/expression, then I feel more comfortable giving them a chance.

Prairie View A&M, Prairie View, TX

For instance, Texas A&M University does not include sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression in its non-discrimination statement.  However, I found sexual orientation mentioned on the student employment application, the social work program, and the clinical psychology program only; not in the non-discrimination statement for this 1890 campus.
