101 John Patrick Diggins, IVGeosciencesI think that the University should stop charging the students and their faculty sponsors extraneous fees that fill the tuition void caused by inappropriate spending.

114 Jacqueline UrlaAnthropologyThe curriculum fee is an obstacle to our goals of sustaining a top rated research University. It hinders recruitment of the most talented graduate applicants and it also reduces the value of hard-won external grants that employ graduate research assistants.

125 Heidi Garrett-PeltierEconomicsIf the University of Massachusetts is to remain a leader in public higher education, we need to assure that the student/faculty ratio decreases and that there are an adequate number of teaching and research assistants across departments. Please reduce curriculum fees so that departments can afford to hire more teachers and researchers.

130 Lynda J PickbournEconomicsHigh curriculum fees limit research opportunities for graduate students and deny us vital research experience that should be a key component of a graduate education.
131 jen coheneconomicsWe, the undersigned faculty, staff and community members support the Graduate Employee Organization/UAW Local 2322 and the Massachusetts Society of Professors/MTA in their call for a rollback of the curriculum fee and reductions in other mandatory student fees at UMass Amherst. These actions will position the University to recruit the highest quality graduate students and will dramatically advance our research and teaching capacity.

149 Huzaifa ZafarComputer ScienceI feel its very important to keep the fees low. This allows for professors to fund more students, and fund them for longer periods of time. Which intern keeps the work load on grad students in check leading to better grades and publications, benefiting the school on whole.
