Yes, this will definitely work
A professor at MIT began a hunger strike yesterday in protest of the university’s decision to deny him tenure.In light of what he wrote in the email, I liked this paragraph:
Alleging racism in the workplace, Associate Professor James L. Sherley ’80 has vowed not to eat until MIT offers him tenure and fires Provost L. Rafael Reif.
“I will either see the Provost resign and my hard-earned tenure granted at MIT, or I will die defiantly right outside his office,” Sherley wrote in an e-mail to the MIT faculty in December. - Harvard Crimson, February 7, 2007
Sherley has undergone extensive preparations for his strike. He said he has undergone tests for kidney, liver, and heart function, and has read up on the effects of starvation so he knows what to expect. A certified M.D., he will check his own blood pressure daily. An MIT medical team will be on call, he said.
