And at Georgetown University over 20 students have entered their seventh day of a hunger strike. They are calling on the university to raise the minimum wage for campus employees to a living wage of about $15 an hour. Currently some subcontractors are earning less than $9 an hour. One hunger striker was briefly hospitalized on Saturday. Four years ago students at Harvard University successfully secured a living wage for all campus workers after staging a 19-day sit-in inside the president’s office.
