When we first met to discuss the possibility of fasting, we decided to invite Kathy Kelly [a well known activist who has fasted many times herself] to come and give us pointers and tips. The thing that stood out the most is that she said that the first three days were going to be the toughest. Being on the fourth day, I can totally see what she was talking about. Yesterday was rough for all of us, but today has been a lot better. It helps knowing that there are hundreds of people around the world are fasting with us today. Thank you for all the support. We have had the support of quite of few faculty members, and not just from DePaul, professors from University of Illinois-Chicago stopped by to show there support.
One of our main goals with the fast is to keep pressure on the administration and another great opportunity will arise on Monday. Freshman Orientation starts at DePaul on Monday and not only will future students be there, but there parents will be as well. We will hopefully have media/press here at the Student Center.
As always, if anyone is around and wants to participate/support in the fast, please feel to come by Monday at noon to the DePaul Student Center located at 2250 N. Sheffield, a block south of the Fullerton El stop.
Thank you once again for all the support from everyone. Please let me know if you have any questions.

good work, comrades. i am proud and inspired by your commitment.
It is wonderful to see DePaul students rallying on this very important issue.

for a couple of postings on the tenure issue.
Thank you all for fasting for this cause. I fully support you. Is there anything that you need help with?
What's the point?
Pass the burgers!
