Iowa grad students press for pay raise and tuition relief
The University of Iowa graduate student union COGS asks the Board of Regents to raise minimum pay for half-time posts by about 9 percent in 2018 and 12 percent in 2019, while replacing tuition with full scholarships for most part-time and term-involved workers. They seek total fee reimbursement, better health coverage, expanded parental leave, and transgender care, plus no mandatory fees. About 20 students rallied on campus ahead of negotiations, and a counterproposal is expected November 15.
