Temple University PUNISHES Grad Students For Going On Strike

“Temple University is cutting off healthcare and tuition remission to some graduate workers in retaliation for their participation in a strike over issues of pay and benefits.

On Wednesday, some members of the union who’ve been on strike since Jan. 31 received an email from the Philadelphia university saying that “as a result of your participation in the [Temple University Graduate Students’ Association] strike, your tuition remission has been removed for the spring semester.”

Because of this move, union leaders say, those graduate workers who want to stay enrolled in their programs will be forced to come up with tens of thousands of dollars in tuition by March 9—or accept the university’s terms and end the strike.”
