The caucus, consisting of over 80 Puerto Rican students from Harvard and MIT, formed last summer after the cash-strapped Puerto Rican government shut down for two weeks in May 2006. “We wanted to join together to change the economic downslide,” said Katia Acosta, a senior at MIT and the lead MIT representative at the caucus.
