Only come here to work for the benefit of the students - Student Liaison Howard University Employee Review

Pros

Howard is an OK place to work if you're there to help the students and not for the money. Many of the folks here are jaded and unhappy and it shows in their performance and how they treat the students.

Cons

Many employees are under paid and they are unhappy as a result. Also, there is a lack of competence in the management of some divisions of the university. Very often, department heads are under qualified and are not very knowledgeable. They substitute degrees for wisdom and common sense. Greater use of the latter would allow a lot more to get done, more efficiently.
