The Student Worker Alliance (SWA) concluded their hunger strike Saturday night after meeting with Chancellor Wrighton and setting up a series of meetings about their proposed "Code of Conduct."
According to the SWA, they ended their hunger strike after receiving verbal agreements from Wrighton on many of the points in their "Code of Conduct." SWA also claimed that Wrighton made a verbal agreement dedicating increased financial resources to workers' rights and benefits.
The University says that their relationship with SWA has not changed. An e-mail sent to the University community Sunday stated that "Washington University reports no change in status regarding the student sit in since Thursday, when the University put forward its plan for supporting lower paid contract workers."
