In his first public message addressing Howard University’s protests over student housing and representation, the school’s president called for students to cease their occupation of the campus student center — a demonstration entering its third week.
“There is a distinct difference between peaceful protest and freedom of expression and the occupation of a university building that impedes operations and access to essential services and creates health and safety risks,” Frederick wrote.
In a recent meeting with students, Frederick agreed to schedule time to discuss housing plans, and on Tuesday said he had “committed to expanded regular meetings with student leaders.” He added that university officials have met with protesters to determine a path forward, though it was not clear what that plan entailed. Students maintain that they will occupy Blackburn until their demands are met.
