5 Tufts University Students on Hunger Strike to Save Janitors' Jobs 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Five students at Tufts University in Medford, Massachuetts, have
launched a hunger strike to protest the university's plans to cut 17
percent of its janitorial workforce in June. The students began their
strike on Sunday in a bid to save the janitors' jobs. Fellow students
are camping out in solidarity outside Tufts' main administration
building.
