Most importantly, I’ve seen hundreds of Harvard workers outside of Mass. Hall demanding to be paid a living wage and treated decently. In many respects, this strong, lasting coalition for a living wage now is the most important development of the past two weeks. And I hope that all of us—students, faculty, workers, and administrators—will celebrate our eventual exit from this building as a chance to realize a moral commitment to improving the lives of the least well-off in our community.
