This year has to be a simulation at this point because I’m shocked and saddened by what I hoped wasn’t true. With the allegations of the Howard Law dean operating multiple burners, I wanted to think this was hearsay. Nonetheless, on my most recent post (pictured) the user initially commented “Howard will be fine, yall are funny” to which i decided to look into their account (see pictured for what i found).

After calling them out and noting the oddity, they swiftly deleted their account which I find INCREDIBLY odd.

If the dean is genuinely doing such a thing in the time that we’re living in right now, I am disturbed. It really be your own people.

Allow me to outline some statistics:

- The black unemployment rate has risen from around 4% to 7.2%

- The unemployment rate for Black women has risen to 7.3% which is in line with the UI rate of yt women in the ‘08 recession.

- Around 5% of lawyers in this country are black and around 2% of them are partners.

- Howard Law last year faced an almost 20% decline in employment numbers and an around 10% decrease in big law outcomes.

- The Big Beautiful Bill has thrown a haymaker in educational funding that disproportionately impacts minority applicants which happens to be Howard’s target demographic

If there was ever a time to be playing in people’s faces, that time has surely passed. The brand only works when the people that are WITHIN the brand actually UPHOLD the values of the brand. This is bigger than acceptances and scholarships, this is about the genuine need for a place like Howard to BE HOWARD. Howard exists to combat against the very attacks on black success and freedom that we are seeing happen every day and yet we have exec staff making burner accounts and being highly unprofessional? I saw one post on here talking about how people should be careful what they post because things can get around within admin teams…well what about being careful with the reputation that your university upholds because THAT can also get around?

With the statistics I’ve mentioned above and the lackluster scholarship opportunities HU offers, what you’re asking of your applicants is teetering upon malpractice. There’s not that much grace and patience in the world!

Theres current class students willing to risk being found out to share issues, there’s applicants risking being found out to share their frustration, there’s post grads sharing their frustrations, at what point will someone take a look at everything I’ve mentioned here and realize that a change is needed?

I’ll end here by saying, folks at the Howard law might feel that we all need the them more than they need us, but i promise you that NOTHING is bigger than the program. Your statistics CAN get lower, your outcomes CAN get worse, your class sizes CAN get smaller, and your reputation CAN suffer greatly.

And the church said.
