Students at Howard University on Monday entered their fourth day of a protest demanding that campus police be disarmed.

The Daily Caller reports the students staged the protests after the school fired an employee who allegedly stole $429,000 in financial aid money.

The Concerned Students of HU Resist wrote a letter posted on Twitter, demanding the disarming of campus police and the formation of a Police Oversight Committee controlled by students, faculty, and staff.

The group claims the school “has a responsibility to cater to the specific traumas that result from systemic oppression” of students.

The group also called for the resignation of the university’s president and the school’s board of trustees, which the school has already said is not going to happen.
