The university agreed to roll back the curriculum fees and reduce mandatory charges. This win belongs to the 483 of you who kept the pressure on the administration until they finally listened. Keep an eye on your student accounts to ensure these changes are implemented correctly.

We, 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.

We are approaching 250 signatures and need to hit that mark before we present this to the administration. Text the petition link to three people in the department right now. Post this to your Facebook feed to keep the momentum moving.

The administration continues to ignore our demands but the mounting pressure is impossible to mask. Send an email to the Chancellor today demanding they prioritize fee relief over bloated administrative budgets.

Ridiculous that we have to pay so much on top of tuition just to access basic facilities. Do better UMass.
