Friday, May 15, 2009—Top administrators at Vassar College met with students on hunger strike to continue negotiations, regarding the students’ list of demands, which were presented to President Catharine Bond Hill last Friday.
The hunger strike comes at the tail end of weeks of campus rallies and talks with President Hill, concerning the elimination of summer break positions for campus workers and the continued attack on job security at the College. Students from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A.) de Vassar and the May Day Working Group have organized these efforts in solidarity and collaboration with campus workers who, in light of the administration’s proposed economic strategy, will hold a press conference responding to the outcome of today’s negotiations and the status of activism around this issue.
