| Howard Univ students occupy admin bldg demand campus police disarm |
| 2018-04-03 |
| [Daily Caller] Howard University students entered their fourth day of a protest Monday in which they occupied an administrative building and demanded campus police disarm. The Washington, D.C., students initiated the protest March 29 after the school fired employee Tyrone Hankerson, Jr., who allegedly stole $429,000 in financial aid money. But not all of the demands directly align with resource allocation transparency. "We demand the immediate disarming of campus police officers and the formation of a Police Oversight Committee controlled by students, faculty, staff, and off-campus community representatives," The Concerned Students of HU Resist wrote in a letter that has been shared over 2,500 times on Twitter. |

| #4 Hi, I'm Rip Van Winkle, and I just awoke after going to sleep in 1968. Good to see nothing has changed. |

| #3 Expel all students involved. Universities are sitting on piles of cash right now so they don't really see the danger but they are going to be replaced by other options and they are simply accelerating the trend with this nonsense. |

| #2 So their objection really is to not being permitted to commit crime? Shut the "school" down, remove its accreditation, cut off financial aid money. If the students support embezzlement, let them suffer the consequences. |

| #1 TheWashington, D.C., students initiated the protest March 29 after the school fired employee Tyrone Hankerson, Jr., who allegedly stole $429,000 in financial aid money. Oh so, this really isn't about campus police, but rather a public hearing on entitlement ? |
