Indiana State University faculty members have passed a resolution saying they do not support the return of a fraternity that considers Robert E. Lee its spiritual founder to the Terre Haute campus.
That same fraternity, Kappa Alpha Order, is also at the center of a racial controversy that has consumed reality TV hit The Bachelor and led to the replacement of the show s longtime host.
In response, KAO says the faculty has mischaracterized its relationship to the Confederate general, and is infringing on the freedoms of its students.
A return to ISU
KAO previously operated at ISU, but university officials said the organization was suspended by Kappa Alpha Order s national office in 2017 because of its failure to meet Kappa Alpha Order s Active Chapter Expectations for several semesters.

We are taking positive steps to expand diversity in our cast, in our staff, and most importantly, in the relationships that we show on television,” the executive producers said in the summer of 2020. We can and will do better to reflect the world around us and show all of its beautiful love stories.

Matt met up with Michelle and they were matching in their lavender sweaters. Michelle surprised Matt with some bicycles where they rode through the resort and talked about what a future together would look like. They eventually ended up at an auditorium where Michelle s students were waiting on a zoom call. The kids were so cute and had a lot of questions for Matt aka Mr. James.
