If you’re considering a doctoral program, you should be following this story at NYU, where graduate students are on strike to protest the university’s decision to refuse contract negotiations and to end recognition of their union. Leaders of NYU’s Graduate Student Organizing Committee, the first such union recognized at a private university, view teaching and research assistants as workers with a right to negotiate pay, benefits, and other working conditions. NYU claims they are students, not employees, who should view their assistantships as part of their financial aid, a position upheld in a decision last year by the National Labor Relations Board.
