http://www.statenews.com For Alicia Bray, raising a child is hard enough. Trying to raise a child on a university stipend is harder. en-us Foundry4 Thu, 15 May 2008 16:05:50 -0400 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:38:04 -0500 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/8431/view As a TA and a proud member of the GEU, I think it’s important to reiterate that the TAs are merely asking for their wage levels to increase at the rate of inflation (which is at a 17 year high, by the way). In response to this proposal, the university has offered the TAs a 0% wage increase for four years! This is a slap and the face and deserves to be met with a flurry of letters to the board of trustees and President Simon herself. Teaching Assistants deserve a fair contract!
