There's a scandal afoot. The students are not happy. The students are fed up with the administration. The students are protesting. The students of Howard University are displaying self-expression, but this time the faculty are at the receiving end of it. Although it seems surprising, this type of protest hasn't been covered yet on this blog. According to the New York Times , hundreds of students occupied the main administration building. Apparently, members of the financial aid office have been embezzling money. As expected, this outraged the students, prompting the current occupation. However, the students also took this time to create a list of 9 different demands. Among some of those demands were to disarm the police on campus, provide better housing for students, and to fight against rape culture. We are unstoppable, another world is possible ✊🏾 #StudentPowerHU pic.twitter.com/V1tT7qsMtm — #StudentPowerHU (@HUResist) April 7, 2018 Courtesy of @HUResit It ...
