Tell President Fuchs: #MOUNow!

Fellow graduate assistants and allies,

This pandemic presents a choice to all of us. Graduate employees are depending on the University of Florida to institute fair standards and protections due to the disruption of academic and personal life caused by Coronavirus (COVID-19).

3 Ways to Support GAU​

Here’s how you can take action:​

Call, email, or tweet, President Fuchs and demand that he directs the Office of the Provost to immediately come to an agreement with GAU on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) including the following relief and protections for graduate employees:

1. Suspension of all terminations and non-reappointments of graduate employees for failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress during the duration of the COVID-19 crisis.
2. Provide additional paid personal time off for graduate employee parents who need to care for children kept home from school due to the COVID-19 crisis.
3. Waive all graduate employee student fees for the Summer 2020 semesters.
