Initial distribution of our newsletter is through the departments, eventually it will be through campus mail. If you do not receiver a copy, send a 3x5 card with name, department, campus address, and any other information to the GA.
We are formulating activities and operations for the next year and are interested in input from you graduate student. A number of committees need input, e.g., the committees standing and ad hoc, of the Graduate Council, our connection with the academic senate.
Fellowships and Graduate Scholarships:
Foerster Lectures:
Foreign Languag Requirement, option 2:
Interdisciplinary Programs:
Hitchcock Professorship:
Howeson Lectures in Philosophy:
Jefferson Memorial Lectures:
Barbara Weinstock Lectureship:
Protection of Human Subjects:
Animal Subjects:
Extended University Programs & Extension Matters.
A strategic task force for evaluation of Student Health Services at Cowell is being formed an needs interested student help.
A number of departments are up for review--are you satisfied with your department?--as are a number of ORU's.
Don't miss the July 10th and 11th Regents meeting in San Francisco. Come see our student regent in action and, perhaps a visit by our regent Brown. Collective bargaining will be a hot issue. Budgets for this year and next year will surface several times.
Student affirmative action, legislative update, EOP, ethnic studies, TAs, academic plans, administrative policy, health policy, and candidacy fees are agenda items for the SBPC annual retreat following the regents meeting. Berkeley will be represented by the chariperson of the GA and the ASUC co-presidents, other campuses will send their UG and grad reps this is the Student Body Presidents' Council (SBPC).
The three Co-Directors from the Student Lobby, the SPBCs right arm will also be in attendance. Selection of officers, briefings, strategy for next year and general policies will permeate this meeting.
The San Diego TA problem still requires solution. (San Diego grads recently shut down their campus). Basic complaints are the high ratio, 50:1 of students to TAs (Berkeley and UCLA have ratios of 40:1), high work loads, and low salaries. This year's University budget lost the $1.4 million needed to start the balancing ratios by increasing the number of TAs. VP McCorkle suggested equal division of TAs between campuses--an unpopula idea for Berkeley.
The GA has information you need, fellowships, awards, grants, etc. for financial aid. Professional positions--post-doctoral posisions, teaching positions, etc. We need your help as well as the departments' to keep this current--if you hear of something, pass it on, tell us about it, send us a copy. Stop by sometime.
