Trustee: Howard U Could ‘Not Be Here in 3 Years’

Howard University students compete in the 2012 Honda Campus All-Star Challenge.

Ominous news for the nation’s second-ranked historically black college: A vice chairwoman of Howard University’s board of trustees recently told the board of the Washington, D.C., school that the institution “is in genuine trouble,” the Washington Post reports.

“Howard will not be here in three years if we don’t make some crucial decisions now,” Renee Higginbotham-Brooks wrote in a letter dated April 24 and published on the Chronicle of Higher Education website.

President’s Weekly Address – Ending The War In Afghanistan And Rebuilding America
