It's been nearly a month since UC student workers secured pay raises of up to 80% through a historic strike. Now, UC is indicating it will scale back on graduate enrollment and hiring teacher assistants in order to afford those raises.
University of California student workers organized the largest academic strike in U.S. history two months ago and secured pay raises of up to 80%. But now the world-renowned, 10-campus system is indicating it will scale back on graduate enrollment and hiring teacher assistants to pay for it.
But not more than a month later, university leadership began telling academic departments they will have to reduce graduate admissions for the next academic year to cover those costs. Jaime said there is no discernible trend of which departments are slashing their enrollment, but it appears “to be the departments that tend to have more constricted funding.”
Jaime, a Ph.D. English student at UCLA, said student workers “are the ones who do the majority of instruction.” These disappointments stem from the university’s inability to cover wage increases for its student workers, the unions said, but they argue that UC has plenty of money to afford competitive pay for all.
