Administrators Fear Sit-Ins, Call for Extra Security

"Fourteen billion, the cash rolls in--everyone but the workers win," protesters chanted.

McKean, who is also a Crimson editor, also criticized administrators for attempting to avoid the protests. Administrators said they decided to close the Office of Human Resources early yesterday, before the start of the rally, to avoid possible confrontations with protesters.

"The people on the inside are so scared of the people on the outside," said McKean. "They'd rather not work and leave the community than have to pay their workers a living wage and have to deal with us."

Yesterday's rally began in front of the John Harvard statue at 4 p.m. Protesters heard speakers, listened to worker testimony and beat drums.

After an hour of speeches and chants, the crowd marched around Mass Hall and then proceeded to Harkness Commons at the Harvard Law School (HLS).

Yesterday marked the first time PSLM had targeted a school other than the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

Organizers said they targeted HLS because it employs some of the University's lowest-paid workers.
