Rackham has proposed a new Continuous Enrollment Policy to begin in the Fall of 2010. For more details, see: http://www.rackham.umich.edu/news/article/continuous_enrollment_proposal/ Several students have expressed concerns about the policy, which would eliminate detached study and require students to pay tuition even when they are not living in Ann Arbor. If you OPPOSE Rackham\'s Continuous Enrollment Policy, let them know by signing this petition. Also keep your eyes and ears open for other opportunities to mobilize. And, be sure to join the \"Detached Study Must Remain an Option\" group on Facebook.com. It\'s currently the quickest and easiest way for graduate students to communicate with other like-minded graduate students on this policy.

The emails I receive from students struggling with the financial burden of this policy are heavy to read. I have been spending my nights organizing our formal response to the administration because the current proposal ignores our reality. We are exhausted but we are not backing down.

Why do they want to make life so much harder for us? We are just trying to graduate.

Absolutely not. I wont be able to complete my degree if they force me to pay for things I am not using. Stop this policy.

Total nonsense. Grad students are already broke enough as it is. Leave us alone.

This is just a cash grab plain and simple. I have to live elsewhere to finish my research and I cant afford to pay full tuition while I am not even using campus resources.

So unfair. I have family obligations out of state and need the flexibility. Please reconsider this!!
