A graduate student at Dartmouth, Maha Hasan Alshawi, announced she was going on a hunger strike last summer to pressure the school to investigate her allegation that a professor had sexually harassed her. After a nearly four-week strike, during which she said she had stopped eating and then drinking, the school agreed to launch an external investigation.
