I know he the lecturer of this week spoke about many things of significance, but the one that resonated with me the most was the one that concerns the whole of Howard, the purger of students from the system. This concerns me not because of the treatment, however uncouth it is, but because of how the students are responding to it, or lack thereof. Everyone seems to be just accepting the system, and the unfair and un justified way Howard is treating their students. I understand it is the Howard administration, but their behavior on this particular issue is wrong.
As for the rest of his lecture, I thought it every issue he adressed was very true, especially about students using their knowledge and resources to take the initiative. I have seen alot at Howard in my time that I have been here, I have seen students put up with subpar teachers, food, and housing. You hear the same complaints everyday, like clock work, yet no one makes any moves to initiate change. Why? I have no idea, yet I do know one thing, it has to change or nothing around us will change. Simple point Howard can be better, even if it was already good, it could still be better, but as a college and a people we still have a long way to go.
