Graduate student compensation and treatment is a serious problem at many Universities across the country. I had a pretty good experience in grad school... great department... great advisor... a stipend on which I could actually live. But man oh man... I know of a lot of work colleagues who were treated like shit in grad school: - effective pay far below minimum wage - no medical or crappy medical, far below university staff benefit levels - forced 6-7 day a week schedules - verbal abuse and intimidation from professors - Advisor's holding students back from defending their thesis for years to squeeze more work out of them (this should be a crime) I hope everyone thinking about going to Temple is watching this carefully and making other plans. Also... under the circumstances, I find Temple's DEI statement (https://diversity.temple.edu/ https://diversity.temple.edu/) to be complete bullshit.
