Students at Howard University have reached an agreement with university officials after a month-long protest over housing conditions on campus.

Wayne Frederick, the president of the historically Black college in Washington, DC, said Monday afternoon that the agreement between the school and the students who occupied Blackburn University Center over poor housing concerns is a "welcome step forward."

In a video message and letter posted on the school's website, Frederick said, "even one issue in one of our dormitories is too many, and we will continue to remain vigilant in our pledge to maintain safe and high-end housing."

While not offering details on what the next steps are, Frederick said he will continue to "work collaboratively" to build a culture where the concerns of everyone are heard. He said he would share details "soon on our ideas that will address concerns and build a culture where all are heard."
