currently being spread by @geo3550 grad students -- these are real numbers.
umich just paid its graduate instructors $100 for the entire month of april, while taking us to court TWICE for demanding a living wage in ann arbor. the lawyers they hired costed more than our demands.

The best time to increase PhD stipends was 40 years ago. The second best time is today.

I feel like I've been pretty successful in my graduate career, but imagine how much more I could have done (and how much physically/emotionally healthier I'd be) if I didn't ALSO bartend 3 days a week all through my MA and PHD to afford to live #paygradstudents

Just realized that, for most of my years in grad school, I qualified for food stamps in Massachusetts. So I wasn’t just being dramatic when stealing extra colloquium cheese to make up the day’s calories. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #GradStudentExploitation #PayGradStudents

UCSC students were gaslit about this So many times, were told their fears were just political performances to make the UCSC a villain. Looks to me like UCSC didn’t need any help with that. #paygradstudents #cola4all

I had a very similar experience. I was paid 13k, but fees & clause held tight. I was fortunate enough to make another 5k in the summer working in our grad college. But I’m unique in that experience. It also meant I wasn’t teaching. Grad school is hard enough. #PayGradStudents

Given how long my degree has dragged on than expected through no fault of my own, I feel like my uni is holding me hostage #PayGradStudents
