From VCU press release:

The 2018 Wilder Symposium at Virginia Commonwealth University will explore the challenges and opportunities facing urban communities as they seek to improve in the areas of housing, education and public policy.

The L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs will host the symposium, “By the People: The Role of Urban Communities in Improving Housing, Education and Public Policy,” from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at the W.E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts, 922 Park Ave. The event will be free and open to the public.

Submitted question to symposium:

Is it not strange that VCU has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the distant country of Cuba, but VCU has refused to have a MOU with its next door neighbors in Oregon Hill?
