Howard University Reaches Agreement With Students Who Protested Campus Housing Conditions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And students at Howard University have reached a deal that will bring an
end to protests at one of the nation's preeminent historically Black
universities. Since October 12th, students have been occupying Howard's
Blackburn University Center to demand better campus housing amid reports
of toxic mold, pests, and crumbling infrastructure in campus dorms. The
students were also demanding better representation and more transparency
from Howard administrators. An attorney for the students said that while
details of the agreement remain confidential, protesters largely
accomplished their objectives.
