Submission: UC lags behind competitors, must invest in graduate student support - Daily Bruin

Submission: UC lags behind competitors, must invest in graduate student support

max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1

Editor’s note: The following is an open letter from the UCLA Graduate Students Association to University of California President Janet Napolitano. Dear President Napolitano, As the organization representing over 12,000 graduate and professional students studying here at UCLA, we, the Graduate Students Association of UCLA, are writing to highlight the crisis the University of California is facing with respect to the competitiveness of graduate student support.The long-term disinvestment in graduate student support – the amount we receive for our work as teaching assistants, research assistants and when we are on fellowship – relative to our peer institutions poses serious challenges to the ability of the UC to retain its current graduate students and threatens its ability to recruit the best graduate students in the future.
