But since the release of the report, the administration has not budged.
In a press packet distributed outside Mass. Hall yesterday, the students said they have exhausted all traditional avenues to enact change.
'The meetings we did have uniformly consisted of administrative refusals to adopt or even consider a living wage policy," the statement read.
"We wish we didn't have to do this, but we have to because the University has resisted all the attempts at dialogue we've had in the past," Offner said last night.
But it's not clear that the sit-in will have any effect on winning a living wage.
A statement released yesterday afternoon by the Harvard University News Office said last spring's recommendations would be the extent of the administration's actions.
"In light of the recent comprehensive review, the University does not intend to reopen the question of a mandatory wage floor, but is actively implementing the affirmative recommendations of the committee," the press release reads.
