Anxious students who were unenrolled now moving into Howard University dorms
About 200 students have had enrollment restored as Howard says families missed a July 10 tuition deadline and followed payment policy.
- More than 500 incoming first-year students were unenrolled by Howard University for missing a July 10 tuition payment deadline. About 200 students have since had their enrollment restored.
- Families and university officials blame miscommunication regarding the payment deadline. Interim President Wayne A. I. Frederick stated the school simply followed policy, noting that 2,200 students did meet requirements.
- When Howard took away Yuisa Davis's enrollment, her mother flew from Puerto Rico to get answers. Clark rode a bus from Cleveland to plead with administrators, saying she lost her "way out."
- Following the outcry, the university notified Clark she was once again welcome to enroll. However, other families like Karina Polen-Davis struggled when administrative officials could not answer questions about financial balances.
- Howard, a nearly 160-year-old HBCU, maintains a 90% retention rate and costs more than $66,000 annually to attend. The crisis has raised questions about the institution's legacy among some in the community.
