On the Living Wage front@Stanford University

From Inside Higher Ed:
Students at Stanford University ended a hunger strike — which some of them had been on for more than a week — after the institution agreed to improvements in its treatment of some employees. The Stanford Labor Action Coalition is hailing the agreement as a major advance. The university pledged to apply its “living wage” policy to employees who had previously been excluded and to try whenever possible to work with contracting agencies that meet high labor standards.
