Nearly 50 members of the Progressive Student Labor Movement began a sit-in at Massachusetts Hall at 1:30 p.m. today, planning to remain indefinitely in the administrative building to demand a living wage of $10.25 per hour for all Harvard employees.
In the wake of the sit-in, Michigan students applauded Bollinger for his willingness to listen to student demands.
In the past week, the BSA has met with several University administrators and staged a sit-in at one of Mansfield's government classes. The BSA also called upon President Neil L. Rudenstine to issue a public statement regarding Mansfield's statements.
The meeting with Rudenstine is only one of several steps the BSA has taken to confront Mansfield. The group has also submitted an editorial to the Crimson, staged a sit-in during one of Mansfield's classes and scheduled meetings with other Harvard administrators.
The very worst part is that the Black Students Association (BSA) sit-in and the letter they are writing are exact mirror events of what happened in 1996, when Mansfield responded to President Neil L. Rudenstine's report on diversity.
