State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) graduate student workers are relied on to teach classes, grade papers and conduct research, and they're collapsing under the weight of crushing school fees - about 15% of their salary - that must be paid back to their employer. The result is many of these workers living in poverty and having to resort to taking out loans, skipping meals, living in their cars, eating food out of dumpsters, or even selling their blood plasma just to make ends meet. We're calling on our New York State Legislature to waive mandatory fees for SUNY and CUNY graduate workers the Fiscal Year 2022 budget.
