Forum on Graduate Rights reacts to stipend increase
The Forum on Graduate Rights released a statement in response to the State of the University announcement.
University of Missouri Interim Chancellor Hank Foley said Wednesday the graduate stipend will rise $3,000 on July 1 to $15,000.
The Forum on Graduate Rights said it is “pleased by the announcement and believes this to be a step toward advancing the well-being of graduate student employees at MU. “
Eric Scott with the organization says he wants the regular increases in a contract so future graduate students won’t have to deal with this same issue.
