“To have housing on Howard’s campus is a privilege. To have housing without rats, mice, mold and mildew on campus is unheard of,' one student said.

“I love Howard and anyone who knows me knows this. And that is why I stand unequivocally with the students of #BlackburnTakeover and against any attempts by the admin to silence them. Student housing was an issue 20 yrs ago when I was there and for decades before. It has to change.”

This sit-in is the latest happening. There was a cyberattack at the beginning of the semester that shut down Wi-Fi for one month. Kefale and Robinson said they are still behind in their classes and that internet access regularly goes in and out. Some Howard professors are teaching their classes at Blackburn University Center where the sit-in is happening., said in a statement to TODAY that the faculty organization is supporting students in a number of ways.

Moldy ceilings and other issues in residential halls inspired students to occupy Blackburn University Center since Oct. 12 to demand better living conditions.Howard defended the removal of those positions in an Oct. 15 email sent to university students and employees and obtained by TODAY.
