It comes after 13 students were arrested for trespassing late last month during a protest.

Twelve students committed to not eating in response to university administrators who barred a group of students from the university for participating in a sit-in that occurred in late April.

    They are willing to die for a cause they believe in.

    We are all going to die. Some of us will take a stand for something that matters to us.

      Ok, but, in this case, that’s not likely to accomplish much… which makes it a wasted effort— and wasted life.

      In other words: this is a poor choice as a form of protest, as it’s unlikely to accomplish its goals while also potentially being fatal to the participants.
