College caves on bathrooms to end very short hunger strike
5/12/2012In the grand history of campus protests, this won't even make the footnotes. Dismayed at the slow progress toward gender-neutral restrooms at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, student Blair Moses launched a liquids-only hunger strike demanding "immediate action." And it was a terrible thing to behold. "I'm very hot, even though it's pretty cool outside," Moses reported. "I'm sweating all day ... I'm hungry. I usually eat every two hours." Wracked with anguish over this human suffering, the school relented and designated two gender-neutral facilities in the student center the very next day. If the students at UMD ever discover the sit-in, they might take over the whole joint.
