"I would hope that the university would be supportive or, like, try to listen to them," said Thomas Miller, a prospective student visiting Friday.

"If you have a group of people who are working for you and telling you that they feel that they're being unfairly treated, I feel like you should address that."

Graduate workers offered pamphlets to prospective students and their parents and conducted "disorientation" tours to highlight landmarks built with tuition money.
