On Monday, March 20, five McMaster students, members of the group MacDivest, began a hunger strike, to press the university to end its investment in fossil fuels and cancel plans to bring CO2-emitting gas generators on line. The university’s prompt and careful response to the hunger strike — doing daily mental and physical health checks on the students with an emergency response team standing by — is striking in its contrast to its response to the climate emergency.
