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.

        This world needs people willing to live for causes they believe in. 12 people not in captivity inching themselves closer to death is just going to create 12 less people who care.

        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.
