Hundreds of grads rallied on North Campus today, continuing the fight for dignity and affordability for each and every worker. Facing indifference and intimidation from the University, grads remained united. The conditions North Campus grads face are a stark reminder of urgency of our demands. For example, grads in the School of Music Theatre and Dance (SMTD) often work tiny fractions below even a 0.25FTE appointment (less than half of a typical GSI salary). Yet, SMTD students, who tend to be Masters or DMAs, would be excluded from the Rackham 12-month funding proposal, deepening the inequity between grads in SMTD and other colleges.
