Frank Tramble, a vice president and the chief communications officer for Howard, said that, while the university “declines to comment on pending litigation substantively, the University is prepared to vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit” and that the claims “provide a one-sided and self-serving narrative of the events leading to the end of the student’s enrollment” at Howard.
