Uri Horesh, a lecturer in Arabic at the University of Texas at Austin who went on a hunger strike last week to protest the lack of benefits for the partners of gay employees, has ended his hunger strike — without a change in the university’s policies.

Horesh said he believed his strike had attracted more attention to the issue, citing extensive press coverage in Texas and elsewhere.
