Occidental Students End Hunger Strike, Decry Brutal Crackdown on Protest

HeadlineApr 28, 2025

In Los Angeles, student activists at Occidental College ended their hunger strike Friday after the school’s administrators called in LAPD and campus security to violently crack down on peaceful protesters outside the inauguration of Occidental President Tom Stritikus. Students had been demanding Occidental protect its students from immigration authorities and renounce any ties to Israel’s war on Gaza. The hunger strikers say Occidental has agreed to certain measures supporting immigrant and international students.
