Concurrently, student Resident Advisors living in the dorms form an informal organization called RAFT (which was not a union) which presented demands in May regarding working conditions, racism, and pay. When RAFT's demands were not met, they went on strike. Over the summer, the striking RAFT members were mostly terminated for failure to perform their jobs and their meal plans were canceled and they were ordered to vacate their dorm rooms.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cooperpointjournal.com/2017/09/26/resident-assistants-on-strike-resident-assistants-fighting-for-tomorrow-ends-in-mass-firing/|title=Resident Assistants on Strike|date=September 26, 2017|accessdate=January 22, 2018}}</ref>
