SNRE Solidarity

Some faculty members may recall their glory days as graduate students and may want to support their GSIs. We welcome your help! Here is a list of things you can do to support GEO. If you think of more, please feel free to add in the comments section.

• Educate students! Some undergraduates aren’t well informed about labor issues or may not know much about academic contract negotiations.
• Allow students to make up assignments and tests if they choose not to cross picket lines
• Offer make up instruction at an alternate time to students who don’t wish to cross the picket line
• Support your GSIs if they choose to participate in the job action
• Inform your colleagues about the issues. Faculty are busy, and some may not know the current proposals on the table. Others may be curious about the GEO response to the letters they have received from Dean Terry McDonald and Dean Phil Hanlon
• Take a shift on the picket line with your graduate students. Your presence is a big morale boost!

Whatever you decide to do, we appreciate your support. We look forward to getting a fair contract settled as soon as possible so we can focus doing what we love: teaching!
