Duke University is defined and strengthened by the thousands of international undergraduate and graduate students in our community.
The University has not sought our input as it has made decisions affecting our health and livelihood, and many of us are struggling.
The Duke Graduate Students Union was pleased to meet with you this past May to discuss pay issues facing graduate student workers at Duke—namely, a stipend that falls short of the cost of living in Durham; a pay schedule that leaves us without pay for months at a time, including when we first arrive on campus; and continuation fees that make graduating more difficult and that far exceed similar fees at Duke’s peer institutions.
