Dozens of Howard University students are sleeping outdoors in a tent encampment on campus grounds to protest what they describe as "poor" and "unlivable" conditions in the college dormitories.
Students told ABC News that portions of the university living quarters have mold and insect and rodent infestations, as well as leaky ceilings and flooding -- all of which they say put their health at risk.
...The sit-in, organized by the Young Democratic Socialists of America and The Live Movement, has gone viral under the hashtag #BlackburnTakeover....Students at other historically Black colleges and universities have also shared videos and pictures on social media of alleged low-quality living conditions at their schools....
...There have been 34 reports of concerns related to discoloration, or suspected fungal growth, across more than 5,050 beds. This represents 0.67% of the total on-campus beds, according to Howard University officials....

At least they don't have to share a dorm building with evil Whitey at a normal college.
Hawaiian vacations. Hair weaves. Gucci handbags. A nice "grill" for the teefs.
... organized by the Young Democratic Socialists of America ...
Young Democrat Socialist......there’s your problem right there. They need to go to college at a fine university in Venezuela!
It was said long ago, “how do you become a Socialist?”
The answer then was, Go to Harvard and Turn Left.
My X-son-in-law was a Harvard Law graduate. (head shake) But he was/is a Republican.
This is at Howard University.Not Harvard
When I worked around the DC area in 2010-2013...I got to talking with a maintenance guy. Conversation came up one day over mold/mildew issues. He offered the opinion that virtually every building that was built before the 1950s in the DC area has deteriorating conditions (some more, some less), and most owners aren’t willing to spend the cash necessary to resolve the problem or contain mold. But he also said...part of this whole issue is that DC-cost levels have reached an epidemic point where nothing can get done cheap unless you used illegals as your employees.
On mold, if you got the bad stuff....you might as well leave the campus dorm, and live in a tent for four years.
They wouldn’t have all the infestation problems if they occasionally took out the trash an quit BBQing in the bathtub.
Yes, I know what Howard University is.
I know it is a black university.
My point? Universities are almost all Leftist breeding grounds.
I graduated from one that was not.
Let them eat cake
About every 3 years or so, someone gets busted for embezzlement but they don’t press charges because “the money is gone”. Financial audits are avoided.
Just some spoiled rich kids wanting to camp out for a while.
“if only we could organize like they do.”
We work, they don’t. Hard to be a professional agitator if you are actually working at a job all day.
Do the math. 5050 beds are 0.67% of beds on campus. So 5050 / 0.0067 = 753731.34 beds on campus. That's a lot of beds on campus! Or maybe the Howard University officials are innumerate. Or perhaps author Brianna got what they said wrong and did not double check. Maybe the editor is innumerate. ABC News, par for the course....
Its Howard U- they don’t allow white people in that institution..
“Do the math. 5050 beds are 0.67% of beds on campus. So 5050 / 0.0067 = 753731.34 beds on campus.”
This looks like the same methodology used to compute the number of POC killed by the police.
The methodology is called “Million Man Math”.
Whoever wrote or allowed these ridiculous numbers to slip by may also think that 1 billion equals 2 million and 1 trillion equals 3 million. After all a bicycle has two wheels and a tricycle has three wheels. /s
The money probably went the same way as De Blasio’s Wife’s charity of $800 millions of tax payer money went.wen
