tutorials at U of T are too big! Undergraduates should simply, in their words, "adjust their expectations." Thinking of going to graduate school? The U of T used to guarantee graduate students a minimum funding package composed partially of a fellowship for our research and partially of wages for our work as TAs. Now, the U of T is moving toward eliminating research fellowships entirely. Our fellowships ensure that we have enough time to do the research that brought us to graduate school in the first place. Unfortunately, fellowships don't satisfy the Administration's desire for measurable (i.e. profitable) "outputs." Although our funding packages are currently structured so that the total amount remains unchanged, a greater percentage of the total amount comes from wages and a smaller percentage comes from fellowships each year. At this rate, we'll eventually be teaching for 100% of our funding and have no fellowship -- no compensation for our research -- at all. We are increasingly required to work more hours, often for as little as $12 an hour -- on research tasks unrelated to our dissertations. The wages for this new kind of work are often calculated against our guaranteed funding, which means we do the work but never take home a dollar for it. Meanwhile, the funding we were promised for carrying out our research continues to disappear. This would be bad enough for any employee; however, it's particularly bad for us because we're trying to complete degrees while the funding clock is ticking.
