Inside Higher Ed: NYU undergrads join strike—For a day

Some New York University undergraduates played hooky Wednesday to show support for striking graduate students.

Hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students and faculty members — estimates ranged from 250, by NYU, to 450-800, by protesters — forsook the classroom for a rally, organized by the undergraduate-run Graduate/Undergraduate Solidarity Committee, in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. It was unclear how many of those in attendance were undergraduates boycotting class for the day, but several people made rough guesses that there were around 100 undergraduates at the rally.
