University officials are focused on students. But both students and the city need to help.
In the aftermath of a melee last month between several Howard University students and a group of 50 or so young people, university officials announced the creation of a “safe path” for students to use while crossing the campus.
The university’s search for answers continues, school officials say, and security issues are being addressed.For instance, some of the students who were attacked said that when a security person contracted by Howard was asked for help, he did nothing. That security person and a campus police lieutenant were fired. Security guards are now posted at student housing facilities 24/7, school officials said.
The university will contact troubled youth who live near the school and try to help them, Dubroy said. The answers to many of the questions that university officials ask today are already answered — by Miller and sociologist E. Franklin Frazier, who was mentored by W.E.B. Du Bois and became chairman of Howard’s sociology department in the mid-1930s.
