Howard is aware of the arrest of a student departing the U Street corridor late last night. University officials have been in touch with the mayor’s office and the Metropolitan Police Department to gather additional information. We have also contacted the family of the detained student and are reaching out to other students involved. We realize that this situation, as well as the heightened federal law enforcement presence across Washington, D.C., has created both concern and anxiety among many students and their families. We want to reemphasize that the safety of our community is our top priority, both on and off campus.
