Six of 11 student protesters are still fasting until they can talk about UF’s investment policy with UF President Bernie Machen, but they’re dropping fast. Two have already fainted after nearly a week, protesters said.

Members of Students for a Democratic Society have been on a hunger strike since April 9. Students met with Dean of Students Eugene Zdziarski on Wednesday asking for a forum to discuss releasing details of the university’s $1.2 billion endowment.

The group wants to make sure UF isn’t investing in anything socially irresponsible.

Dianna Morgan, chairwoman of the Board of Trustees, sent the group a letter this week telling them not to put their health at risk for the administration’s attention because UF is already aware of the group’s requests, UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes said. There are no current plans for meetings between Machen and SDS, who have met three times before, Sikes said. Machen could not be reached for comment.

Student Body President Ryan Moseley said he met with the group on Tuesday and was still reviewing the proposals before taking a stance.
