Faculty in Support of UW's Graduate Students
Honor the UW/ASE Contract & Stop Unfair Fees!
Why is this important?
(Please post your department in the "Comments" section. Non-UW faculty members, please sign our complementary petition at http://signon.org/sign/response-to-uws-fall instead.)
We, the undersigned faculty members, wish to express our grave concern over the continuing lack of resolution of the fees dispute with the graduate student union. Graduate students have brought to our attention the fact that the independent arbitrator’s finding in favor of the union several months ago has still not been implemented, and this delay has caused serious financial hardship for our students.
We greatly value the work that academic student employees perform; indeed, the University would quickly cease to function without it. Moreover, recruitment for next year’s class of graduate students, actively underway right now, will be seriously harmed if this matter is not resolved promptly.
We urge the immediate resolution of this pressing issue and look forward to seeing the graduate students’ employment contract upheld in a fair manner.
