1. So I’m at Kenyon College in Ohio today for my book on college’s role in America’s broken politics and I got to see something really cool: The first-ever-in-the-nation strike by student workers
2. K-SWOC was formed by student workers such as lifeguards, library aides or campus farm employees. They have post-pandemic issues about reduced hours, pay and basic respect at Kenyon, one of the most expensive U.S. colleges
3. About 140 student workers have walked off the job for 24-hours, pressing Kenyon’s administration for recognition. They believe their movement will spread to other colleges and universities 
4. The pandemic, the insane cost of a bachelors degree, and the growing unrest of students are all proof that the American way of college is unsustainable without radical changes -30-
