But standing outside Mass. Hall last night, Offner said that the student activists both inside and outside the administrative building would not move until their demands are met.
And they are willing to fight as long as it takes, she said.
"We'd like to get a call from Rudenstine some time in the next five minutes, saying that he was wrong and we have a living wage," she said, laughing.
But even if the call does not come, Offner says, the PSLM members will remain camped out in Mass. Hall.
"We see this as a major, justified escalation," Offner said, gesturing to the 50 students planning to spend the night on the floor of the administrative building. "We'd like this to be the end, but even if it's not, we'll continue the struggle."
But Grogan said that it is simply unrealistic for the students to expect any movement in the direction of a living wage.
It is not that the administration does not want to improve the welfare of workers at Harvard, he says, but they have decided that a living wage is simply not the best way to go about it.
And Grogan said he understands how students would be reluctant to embrace the results of the report.
