For more than a month, students at Howard University in Washington, D.C., have been fighting for answers from the school administration as they protested poor housing conditions on campus.
But on Monday, an agreement with protesters at one of the nation's top historically Black universities had been reached, the school announced in a tweet.

If I'm paying over $27,000 a year to go to Howard University, I expect NO mold. But, this is a historically black college, so it must be ok for the students to be subjected to substandard conditions.

SrA John Monette I Know You're being Sarcastic. Good thing about Having Your College in DC, Everyone Knows and Hears what is going on and Your Voice is Louder when Protesting.

..."Since the start of the fall semester, students say they've raised concerns to campus administrators regarding mold in the walls of their dorms, the lack of COVID-19 testing for students and the overall safety on campus, according to DCist/WAMU.
In his State of the Union address on Nov. 5, Frederick stated that mold was discovered in 41 out of 2,700 rooms on campus, with some of the damage being the result of "accidental human error."
In 2018, students led a nine-day occupation of the campus administration building which resulted in an agreement between officials and students on several campus changes.
The changes included a revision of the school's sexual assault policy, a review of policies allowing campus police officers to carry weapons and the creation of a food bank on campus for students."
