After UCB Chancellor Robert Birgeneau agreed to a meeting with representatives, Cal students called off their 10-day hunger strike last night. The Daily Californian, "The strike, which began May 3 as a demonstration focused on a controversial Arizona immigration law and has attracted attention worldwide, concluded as all but one of the 18 strikers ate ears of corn together in a symbolic gesture." Whatever the hell that means.
Although Birgeneau met with the starving students, he couldn't meet all of their demand, which included making the UC Berkeley campus a sanctuary campus for workers and students, clearing all charges against the students involved in the Wheeler Hall slumber party, and re-hiring laid-off workers.
However, according to BCN (via CBS 5), UC Berkeley did agree to "[expanding] a task force that looks at issues surrounding undocumented students and workers ... and will continue to work with labor management to address concerns regarding layoffs."
