Yesterday I was part of an interesting discussion about strike’s impacts on research. How will they afford the raises? Why do research centers have to pay the fee remission and tuition for GSRs instead of the campus?

These are structural issues are laying bare.

And as faculty struggled for answers, because there are no good ones, this humble librarian just kept repeating, “This is something needs to fix, but the system is truly broken all over.”

UCSF Faculty sent the following letter of strong support for students, specialists and postdocs to UC President Drake.
The most-compelling reason to increase the wages of postdocs and graduate students is equity. Having a less-than liveable wage makes advanced education inaccessible to historically underrepresented groups.
