Wilberforce University Responds To Student Protest

Wilberforce University officials say they're listening to students' complaints and trying to make changes.The school is studying improvements to dorms, cafeteria food and library hours in the wake of protests by more than 300 of Wilberforce's 500 students earlier this week. They demanded transfers to Central State University, citing poor living conditions and high tuition costs. The students say they will demonstrate during next week's board of trustees meeting.
