Paragraphe tiré de la référence
A group of University of Kentucky students began a hunger strike Wednesday night to demand better services for their peers suffering from food and housing insecurity.
Representatives of the SSTOP (Sustainable Solutions to Overcome Poverty) Hunger group at UK said at least seven students will not eat anything (but will drink water) until President Eli Capilouto’s administration creates a Basic Needs Center with staff and funding to help low-income students. About 50 more will be limiting their meals to one a day.
“We’re committed to striking until UK meets the demand,” said Beau Revlett, SSTOP’s director. “This is a way to get the public to understand these issues.”
