WILBERFORCE —
Wilberforce University students are planning a second protest after hundreds on Wednesday threatened to leave the school over what they claim is mismanagement.
Senior and student body president Brandon Harvey said students will rally at next week’s board of trustees meeting, which will be off campus. Harvey is organizer of a protest event in which 330 of the university’s 510 students requested withdrawal forms, he said.
“That will be our second stand,” Harvey said Thursday.
University President Patricia Lofton Hardaway met with reporters Thursday morning at her off-campus house, and said the university is and has been working to address student concerns over library and lab hours, food service and other issues.
“There is not a university in the universe that relishes the idea of students withdrawing. Of course we would prefer that students remain at Wilberforce University,” she said.
“We believe in treating the students as young adults and helping them understand,” she said.
