The UMassD graduate student experience has gotten worse every single year: school fees continue to increase; pay is not even adjusted for yearly inflation; and employee workloads have expanded way beyond contract hours.
We are not asking for much. We need healthy food to eat, and a safe place to sleep. Yes, we knowingly chose to be graduate students and invest in our degree. We are also employees for the university, doing work that pays a wage but delays progress toward our degree.
All students, allies, faculty, staff, admins, friends, family, etc. are welcome to add their name to this list in solidarity! Please fill out this form to add your info.
