Citing "broken system" QCA cancels Drag Ball

Hampshire's Queer Community Alliance (QCA) issued a statement via Facebook on December 2, announcing the cancellation of its annual Drag Ball in protest of what signer Mike Wolf calls "a very broken system." The statement calls for more funding, educational workshops, and supplies to promote safer sex. It also demands for "Community Council (CC) to be held accountable for their favoritism and embezzlement," accusations that come only a month after Committee on Community Activities (COCA) co-chair Sam Light was found to have misused Student Activities Funds (SAF). However, Wolf urges the community that Drag Ball's cancellation is part of a much larger issue: the administration's failure to provide adequate funding for identity-based groups on campus while simultaneously using the groups to promote Hampshire as a queer-friendly safe space. >>
