Over the weekend, Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton engaged — at their request — in direct conversation with four students representing those conducting the sit-in in South Brookings Hall and Brookings Quadrangle.

Washington University reports no change in status regarding the student sit in since Thursday, when the University put forward its plan for supporting lower-paid contract workers. We continue to meet with the students, but no further agreements have been reached. We are relieved to learn they have ended their hunger strike.
