As the Harvard strike finishes its second week, student activists showed their support yesterday by joining dining hall workers in their protests against the university. Hundreds of Harvard College and Divinity School students left their classes on Monday afternoon in order to join the workers’ rally. Students sang “Lean on Me” and broke bread in solidarity with their dining hall workers. A petition supporting the workers has been passed around Harvard’s faculty, and includes over 150 signatures.
