The ongoing graduate student strike at Harvard has entered its second week, with over 4,000 student workers participating and calling for a stronger administrative response. More than 200 members of the Harvard Graduate Student Union rallied outside University Hall, urging deans to push for a contract settlement. Disruptions to classes and events have been reported, including a notable incident where a performance featuring Stephen Colbert and Yo-Yo Ma was cut short by a fire alarm amid student demonstrations. Critics express concern that undergraduate students should not be caught in the middle of the negotiations, highlighting challenges faced due to the strike.
