Yale Grad Students Conduct Hunger Strike In Between Meals

Graduate student teachers fighting for better perks and benefits at Yale University have performed a feat thought to be impossible by waging a hunger strike in which snacking is apparently allowed.

According to a Yale Daily News report, eight members of the graduate student union Local 33 launched a hunger strike on the front lawn of President Peter Salovey's home Tuesday night in an effort to jump-start collective bargaining negotiations. The rally is dubbed "Fast Against Slow."
