NYU Throws Down the Gauntlet
11/29 | Administration to withdraw graduate student funding if GSOC stike continues past December 5th.
By Nerds on Strike
In an email to New York University's Graduate Student community, University President John Sexton writes:
"Because we take our responsibilities seriously, graduate assistants who do not resume their duties by December 5 or the first scheduled teaching assignment thereafter – while experiencing no consequences for this semester – will for the spring semester lose their stipend and their eligibility to teach.
"For those graduate assistants who return by December 5th and accept a teaching assignment for the spring, this acceptance comes with the commitment to meet their responsibilities without interruption throughout the spring semester."
The loss of the stipends, worth $19,000 a year, as well as teaching assignments, would take away the primary means by which most NYU Graduate Students pay for their education.
