It's a far cry from the apathetically attuned commuter campus it was back in the 80's. It's now a hotbed of misguided liberalism. Unfortunately, some of the kids doing this hunger strike sound like they didn't recently pick up these "ideals". It sounds like their parents (and the local education establishment) had a lot to do with it.
Comments or opinions - anyone?
That's probably why their football team can't even beat Florida Atlantic.

I'll also say that paying attention to people on hunger strikes is like negotiating with terrorists. Waste of time.
I passed a load of striking workers the other day. I yelled ‘get back to work’ and boy you shoulda seen the response... I was lucky to get out unharmed- my car took a hit.
I support some union activities, but when they start harming the company they work for, then they are stupid.
Auto unions caused their own problems with janitors sweeping floors at $65K per year (plus benefits) You could have 6 at $10 per hour and have a cleaner place and more employed people.
If I were the parent, I’d say “I’m paying $xxxx for your education, not for you to sit in a chair and protest. Get your a** to class or I stop paying, and you pay your own way, from tuition to rent to food and books and gad and laundry.”
It’s time to outsource the cafeteria to a local caterer.
My armband says “slow”.
Sofi's dad is losing sleep because he sees the money invested in Sofi's education going up in smoke.
If they look like the average college student, they can probably live off their pizza/beer fat reserves for quite some time.
Yeah, I enjoy stories about hunger strikes ....

Is it a hunger strike or an “Al Sharpton hunger strike”?
I remember Al gaining weight during his.
If I were the parent, I’d stop the tuition checks and demand a refund on the meal tickets.
Idiotic kids, what is their purpose in being in college. Certainly not a return on investment.
If we wait long enough and they actually do starve themselves to the afterlife - no more protest. If they don't stick to their own convictions and promises, they discredit themselves anyway.
What a bunch of losers.
This girl (child would be a better word) is an idiot. Let her starve (although I doubt it’ll come to that - current odds 20 to 1) and maybe she’ll actually learn something at the sinkhole known as the U of M.
I mean that in the nicest possible way.
