 Wesleyan University cut its custodial staff from 60 to 50 between 2012 and 2014, resulting in reports of custodians being overworked.It was publicly know conditions were changing as early as 2012 (due to changing workloads), and custodians publicly protested in 2013, when five people had already been fired.In September 2013, a rally was held at a Wesleyan football game to protest custodial working conditions.
