Howard University is trending yet again on social media. On November 3, 2015, Jawanza Ingram received notice from Howard University that his housing would be revoked and that he has been deemed ineligible for housing starting November 2015 through July 2016. The Sophomore student violated Howard’s housing rules and snuck friends in through the Bethune Annex emergency exit door for his roommates surprise birthday party. This student has admitted to his wrong doings but feels as though he could have faced other repercussions other than completely loosing his housing.

President Wayne Frederick has now issued a statemnent condemning the student for bringing media into the situation. He explains that he stands by the decision to dismiss the student from on campus housing; moreover, he says the student is not telling the full story. But, for now the University is unable to discuss any further details of the case.

How do you feel about the issue? If you were in Jawanza Ingram’s place would you have done the same thing? What would you do if you were #HomelessAtHoward?
