On April 6, 2018, the 9-day student occupation of the administration building at Howard University ended. The 9 days occupation took place after demands for increased welfare funding was first rejected by the administration. After the occupation, however, most demands of the students were met, namely “...an overhaul of the school's sexual assault policy, the creation of a food bank to serve students and the surrounding community, a review of policies allowing campus police officers to carry weapons, an agreement by the board to consider freezing undergraduate tuition rates at current levels, and students will have a voice in selecting the student ombudsperson.” Because of the comprehensiveness of the reforms, the student activists withdrew their demand for the resignation of the University President, who had ultimately become supportive of the activists’ rights to remain in occupation of the administration building.
