The student Tufts Labor Coalition announced on Saturday it was ending a nearly weeklong hunger strike for health reasons. Four of the students had been fasting for more than 120 hours. The students were protesting layoffs for janitors at the school. After the students took down their tents from the campus quad, a spokeswoman for the school said it welcomes the end to the hunger strike, as student safety was the first priority, and that the school will work on “the thoughtful restructuring” of custodial services.
