RUSH: Do you remember the hunger strike up at Yale? Yale graduate students — if you missed this, here are the details. Graduate students at Yale are paid a stipend of $30,000 a year while they get their doctorates. They are given free health care, and their tuition of $40,000 is paid for. In other words, it costs them nothing, and yet it’s not enough.
The hunger strike concerned Yale’s unwillingness to renegotiate a contract. This is the kind of thing that I just love. Cook up a barbecue right next to the where these people are doing their phony hunger strike.
