A group of Oakwood University students gathered to protest a new policy last month in what marks the fourth recorded protest in the university’s history, according to Student Movement officials.
Approximately 50 to 60 students gathered at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026, at the Bell Tower located at the center of campus, according to organizers of the demonstration. Student leaders said the demonstration stemmed from dissatisfaction with the administration’s handling and enforcement of a recently implemented Sabbath policy.
