student strike

Academic protest action

A student strike is a coordinated refusal by students to attend classes or participate in academic activities, typically as protest against institutional policies, tuition increases, or broader political issues.

Unlike labor strikes, the leverage comes not from withholding productive work but from disrupting normal operations and generating public attention: The student strike shut down the university for a week.
