Interesting: Howard Nursing Students Picket - The Paper Trail (usnews.com)

Around 50 nursing students at Howard University picketed Tuesday, protesting the shoddy education they say they've been receiving for years, the Hilltop reports. Their efforts prompted the administration to hold a town hall meeting on Wednesday evening where the students' concerns were discussed but no specific action was undertaken.

Last year, students organized a walk-out of exams, which threatened the school's accreditation. The protesters' list of demands includes improvement in teaching, testing standards, and overall organization of the school's priorities.
