## Resource

Over 200 freshmen at Howard University are back after being unenrolled—more than half of the original 500 students facing the fallout from fall semester enrollment chaos. Interim President Wayne Frederick explained that many families misunderstood financial deadlines and requirements, with some students still owing tuition even after aid, and others missing immunization records. While Frederick defended the school’s adherence to policy, he acknowledged overwhelmed call centers and admitted emails were being answered. Reinstatements began last week after in-person meetings, with one student, Keana Johnson, a 17-year-old from a NYC shelter, reinstated after a personal meeting—she called the experience stressful but ultimately empowering.
