The Huntington News, Northeastern’s student media outlet, reported earlier that a student group called Empower Adjuncts Community Coalition had been rallying outside the office of NU President Joseph Aoun. The group’s Facebook page includes this description: “Northeastern students, workers, and community members standing in solidarity with our adjunct professors as they fight for their voice at our university.” This story is developing.
