Dear Colleagues,
We recognize that many questions have arisen from the Graduate Student Funding Reform memo released on October 14, 2019. After conversation with many campus constituents an updated memo was released on November 8, 2019 and distributed to deans, department chairs, assistant deans, department business officers, and graduate coordinators.
In the coming weeks we will meet with each dean to go over the implications of the overarching vision for graduate funding. When needed we shall also meet with specific departments.
We are committed to working toward the vision outlined in the memo. In instances where departmental resources currently fall short, we will work with Deans and their departments to find a solution.
Elizabeth H. SimmonsIn the Fall of 2019, we created this collaborative resource to share information about the campus’s strategic efforts to reform the graduate student funding model. We are now augmenting this to encompass all major communications about this topic, organized chronologically in the table below. The FAQ resource can also still be found here.
We encourage you to visit this website regularly for information about graduate student funding reforms. As always, feel free to let us know your questions so that we might continue to update this website and the resources it contains.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth H. Simmons,
Executive Vice Chancellor
James Antony
