Or are they? Seems, in order to receive more union benefits, Yale graduate students are entering in a hunger strike, right in front of Yale University\u2019s President Peter Salovey\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
“Yale wants to make us wait and wait and wait \u2026 until we give up and go away,” the eight members of the graduate student union Local 33 announced. “We have committed ourselves to waiting without eating.” The university administration stated they understood the students concerns, but \u201c\u2026”strongly [urge] that students not put their health at risk or encourage others to do so.”<\/p>\n
Sounds serious! Oh, wait. It\u2019s a \u201csymbolic\u201d hunger strike. According to a Twitter post by a former Yale student, the protesters can leave and eat when they must.<\/p>\n
The onerous conditions the students are protesting are a stipend of $30,000 annually, free health care, and their tuition paid in full. How the snowflakes survived this long is a mystery.<\/p>\n
A non-hunger hunger strike is little more than stamping one\u2019s feet and holding one\u2019s breath \u2018till blue, \u2018till the demands are met. Childish, in other words.<\/p>\n
