Howard U. Students Occupy Campus Building, Demanding Reforms
------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., hundreds of Howard University students are
occupying their campus's main administrative building for a fifth
straight day today, in a protest that began amid reports that university
employees misappropriated $1 million in financial aid funds in a
possible case of embezzlement. The students are demanding that President
Wayne Frederick and the executive committee of the Board of Trustees
resign over the scandal. They're also demanding more action to prevent
sexual assault on campus; the disarming of campus police; and adequate
housing at the historically black university.
