More than a week ago, Beau Revlett and his partner shared a plantain, one final meal before a hunger strike to pressure President Eli Capilouto of the University of Kentucky. They were demanding that he create a basic-needs center on campus to help hungry students.
Some 300 students at Kentucky have since limited their diet in some way, but Revlett was one of about a half dozen who swore off food until the demands were met. They included creating not only the center, but also a donor-supported fund to help students find food and housing, and an employee to oversee the one-stop shop.
After going several days without food, Revlett felt lethargic and had difficulty paying attention. Even more intimate parts of his life suffered. "It's definitely thrown a wrench into our love life," said Revlett, a senior philosophy major whose partner was also striking. "We're very irritable and taking it out on each other."

Several students have gone on full-time hunger strike at the University of Kentucky to demand that the school ensure that the basic needs of working class students are met. In addition to those who are willing and able to wage a full-time hunger strike, there are a number of students who are not eating for two to seven days, students who signed up to full-time hunger strike with us after finding out about our cause, and many students who are fasting in solidarity by skipping any number of meals for various periods of time (for example, eating one meal a day until demands are met). In total, there are about 300 of us participating in strikes and fasting and occupying.

It is time for UK administrators to acknowledge the magnitude of the problem we face and act in proportion,” read an announcement from the Basic Needs Campaign.

We’ve tried academic research and student-run solutions like a meal swipe donation program, tried petitions, gained dozens of organizational endorsements, organized a letter-drop and then a phone zap to the Office of the President, held a powerful General Student Assembly, rallied with banners and posters, given out over 300 pounds of free food, met with administrators and more.

We, the students of the Basic Needs Campaign, have been fighting this fight for basic needs ever since. We’ve tried academic research and student-run solutions like a meal swipe donation program, tried petitions, gained dozens of organizational endorsements, organized a letter-drop and then a phone zap to the Office of the President, held a powerful General Student Assembly, rallied with banners and posters, given out over 300 pounds of free food, met with administrators and more. We had two meetings with our President and our Provost — and on the second meeting they told us they would not meet with us again. We have been met with an incredible amount of resistance from the administration including the spread of misinformation of available resources to students and co-optation of student-run programs and our campaign.

We, the students of the Basic Needs Campaign, are hunger striking.
Until the University of Kentucky stops denying students the right to food and housing, we will deny ourselves food. Anyone can join us, and we encourage you to; there is power in numbers. We urge you to call the Office of the President in support of our hunger strike for the Basic Needs Campaign at (859) 257-1701. A hunger strike will seem drastic to some, but we have tried behind-closed-door meetings. We have tried academic research. We have tried developing student-run solutions. We have tried rallies, phone zaps, and student assemblies. Nothing has worked. What we are facing is not just resistance to the Basic Needs Campaign. We face a University of Kentucky that puts profit over people. It is time for UK administrators to acknowledge the magnitude of the problem we face and act in proportion.

On Tuesday, the students met with UK President Eli Capilouto to review the requests, which included removing what they believe is a racist mural from Memorial Hall and hiring a full-time staff member who could help students with food and housing-related challenges.
After the hourslong meeting, Capilouto agreed to meet several of their demands, including covering a mural deemed racist for depicting the sale of slaves.
"I heard their brutally heartfelt and painfully honest stories about the challenges of being a student of color or need at our University," Capilouto said in a statement. "It was, as I told them, the toughest day I have had as a member of our community. My mind was further opened to their challenges and, frankly, to some of the shortcomings we have as an institution that aspires to be a community of belonging for everyone."
