Howard Nursing Faculty, Students in Conflict

About 50 nursing students at Howard University marched to bring attention to problems they say they are facing with their educational curriculum.

According to Briscoe, many students were frustrated to the point of tears at the town hall meeting, but their frustrations were heard by Adderley-Kelly.

This outcry is not the first of its kind. In 2007, The Hilltop reported that nursing students walked out of examinations, which threatened accreditation, in protest of the shoddy education they believed they were receiving.

 

Jessica Lewis writes for The Hilltop, the Howard University student newspaper, which originally published a version of this article.
