What should the student do if they want to join a group that is known to have discriminatory behavior?
user
The student should evaluate their comfort levels with the group and assess whether their values are consistent with the group's behavior. It is important for students to remember that they have the right to withdraw from a situation if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable, and should not be afraid of speaking out if discriminatory behavior is occurring. They should also document incidences of discrimination so there is a record of any inappropriate behavior. If necessary, the student should consult campus resources to get help dealing with a discriminatory environment.

If a student wants to join a group that is known to have discriminatory behavior, they should closely evaluate the group’s stance and ask lots of questions to get clarification. Other questions may include: How are decisions made in this organization? What opportunities are available for people of different backgrounds? Is everyone respected regardless of their race, gender or religion? If an equitable and inclusive atmosphere cannot be guaranteed, the student should reconsider their membership.
