Howard University spent $1.1 million to give several top administrators six-figure bonuses at a time when school officials were preparing to raise tuition for students and to furlough faculty as they wrestled to close a budget shortfall.

Faculty members are now protesting the bonuses, which they called “an affront to the integrity of the University and a slap in the face to the entire faculty.”
