Members from the TSSU and GSS are organizing together to demand SFU for a cost of living adjustment for all graduate assistants.
It has become clear this semester that graduate students across the university are struggling with the rising affordability crisis which has only been exacerbated by stagnant funding packages, limited affordable student housing, and tuition hikes. In response, we currently have a list of 10 demands, including a guaranteed minimum funding offer of $32,000 (after tuition deductions) with annual increases for all research based graduate students, eliminating the practice of using funding offers as an artificial cap on grad student incomes, graduate student housing that is linked to 30% of graduate income with the addition of more units. The full list can be read at gradcola.ca.
If you'd like to get more involved with this campaign, keep informed with the most current updates, and/or come to our next action, then please fill out the information below. You can also email Félix and Catherine at organizer@tssu.ca for more information.
