A group of Yale University graduate students announced Tuesday evening that they would be undertaking a hunger strike to pressure the administration into granting them better union benefits. The strike is taking place in front of University President Peter Salovey’s home.

"Yale wants to make us wait and wait and wait … 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."

Yale doctoral students currently earn a stipend $30,000 a year, receive free health care, and have their $40,000 tuition paid in full, according to Yale News. The university administration said in a statement that they understood the students concerns, but "strongly [urge] that students not put their health at risk or encourage others to do so."



As it turns out, the hunger strike might not put anyone's health in peril. According to a pamphlet posted on Twitter by a former Yale student, the hunger strike is "symbolic" and protesters can leave and get food when they can no longer go on.

I am at a loss as to how to satirize this. Their own unironic satiriization of themselves simply cannot be topped.

Special snowflakes have now achieved the ultimate pinnacle of special snowflakery.

It almost seems that every ultra-phag in the nation has chosen Yale.

Have I missed something?

PS: This crap takes a giant likeness of itself on the memory of Bobby Sands.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Occam's Banana again.

You have yet again earned my admiration.

It seem to me that these people do not even understand what hungry means.

That "Stipend" they get is more than 99% of people in the world earn in a year. Jesus I hope the zombie apocalypse happens soon.....

Talk about having the courage of one's convictions ... NOT. What a bunch of pussified losers. I weep for my grandkids and the future they seem doomed to inhabit.

This is why Federal agencies (the CIA, etc.) now have to import jihadists. Leftist radicals are getting softer and softer, becoming pathetic as foot-soldiers. Even anti-fam are total wusses.

Ummm...yeah.

I'm going to go ahead and symbolically care.

What the hell? Is this true? I call BS. Had I gone through with my PhD in Computer Science, I would have had to pay every penny of everything related to it.

Thank God I came to my senses, having realized the degree would have bought me nothing $$-wise, and that the ego thing of being called "doctor osan" meant nothing to me.

Trolling beyond regular measures . Are they trolling themselves or everyone else ? It is so ridiculous it sounds like a govt ( CIA ) experiment .
