Who Says Harvard Students Aren't Activist? Harvard student Alyssa Aguilera writes the Times to suggest that, for all the good press about its financial aid practices, Harvard still pays its workers diddly-squat.

(That's a technical term meaning "not enough.")

Harvard service employees (janitors, food-service workers, security guards and so on) are in a constant battle with the world’s wealthiest university to update contracts with wages and benefits that meet living wage standards, and are on par with neighboring schools.

Aguilera mentions that she went on a hunger strike in protest of these issues, which is ironic, because if every student at Harvard did that, then the food service workers wouldn't have jobs!  ¶ 8:16 AM
