Three-dozen students are still occupying Harvard's administration building, while many supporters are rallying outside of the building. Harvard officials claim that the lowest wage paid to any regular Harvard employee is $8.05 per hour and that the salary package totals $10.63 per hour when benefits are considered.
Protesters claim that many workers are paid $7.50 and that benefits such as museum passes are unimpressive.
