International GSIs and other grads gathered to picket on North Campus, highlighting the unique challenges IGSIs face, and the proposals put forward to remedy them. The University wants a ‘global campus.’ This is impossible to achieve without our international grad workers, who provide quality instruction in countless departments, and are the majority of language instructors to UM students. With signs and chants in more than nine languages, grads highlighted the demands that will make this campus truly global: a fund to ensure that international grad workers are no longer forced to pay extra expenses out of pocket, robust sanctuary campus policies, and the living wage and dignity that we all deserve.
