Silver Is One of Ten Plaintiffs Suing the Board of Trustees at Howard U.
On December 13, 2021, ten proud Howard University graduates (including April R. Silver) became plaintiffs in a legal complaint against the Board of Trustees at Howard University. The plaintiffs, under the brilliant counsel of Donald M. Temple, Esq., charge that the Board violated its own by-laws when it dismantled seats that were reserved for students, alumni, and faculty.
With this legal action, the plaintiffs have taken a stance for shared governance, an approach to honorable leadership that has been a part of Howard's history for generations (since 1924).
