Howard University Reinstates Over 200 Students Amid Enrollment Controversy

Howard University has reinstated approximately 200 of the 502 incoming students who were unenrolled for missing tuition payment deadlines, following criticism of the timing of the unenrollment.
Interim President Wayne A.I. Frederick stated that the university's payment deadlines and policies were not new, but acknowledged that communication may have been unclear for many students.
