Niente più Omero e Cicerone, Socrate e Platone. La Howard University chiude il dipartimento di studi classici, perché i grandi della letteratura antica erano tutti maschi e bianchi (??!!), quindi “suprematisti”
Founded in 1867, Howard University is a private research university comprised of 13 schools and colleges.
Students pursue studies in more than 120 areas leading to undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees. To date, Howard has awarded more than 130,000 degrees in the arts, the sciences, and the humanities. The historic main campus sits on a hilltop in Northwest Washington blocks from the storied U Street and Howard Theatre. We are two miles from the U.S. Capitol where many students intern, and scores of alumni shape national and foreign policy.
