Now that makes sense - PhD students may be paid out of grants that come from a source other than the university itself or the student. So that would be a source of income lost.
- mattkrause 9y ago"may" is even a bit soft: I would bet that >75% of biomed PhD students are funded by some sort of external source. My impression is that the humanities are a bit different: grad students are funded by the university, but also expected to do more TAing (etc).
- Fomite 9y agoI'd be comfortable betting by the time they hit their dissertation, which is where this will really be a problem, that number is >90%.
- geebee 9y agoDo you think the grant could go directly to fund research, with the university then funding a grad student with the grant money as a condition of how the grant is used? Or does it have to go through the grad student as a reportable tuition waiver? I certainly do agree this sounds like a much more complicated problem than a line item that can be hidden when things are internal. Just wondering what loopholes might work.
