The board, composed mostly of new appointees by Governor Ron DeSantis, criticized Gueverra for his handling of state appropriations and contract renewal issues.

New York State Universities Offer Support to Students Unenrolled by Howard University

In response to Howard University's decision to unenroll 502 first-time-in-college students due to unmet enrollment and financial obligations, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) are expediting late admissions reviews for affected state residents. This initiative aims to provide alternative educational opportunities for students like Keana Johnson, a 17-year-old who was looking forward to attending Howard University. Johnson, who has been living in a New York City shelter, was admitted to Howard's nursing program but is now exploring other options, including the University of the District of Columbia and other historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the South. Participating SUNY and CUNY campuses will also offer an $800 credit to offset non-refundable enrollment deposits paid to Howard.
