That gets tricky in some fields because no one gets paid for their own research but I think especially in the sciences, there’s not really a bright line where the job ends and study begins. And that makes you guys easier to exploit.

That's kind of what I thought. I know people that went to Purdue and Connecticut and they basically paid some fees and that's all. The salary they got covered housing and some expenses. I think their out of pocket was less than $5000 a year.

Were any of those hours part of your own research for your final thesis/dissertation? Or was it all teaching/research and then you still had separate research to do for the degree?

Their pay rate is well over the US median income. What they’re requesting is a pay rate equivalent to an $87,000 full-time salary. They’re not demanding full-time hours; they want half-time work and full-time credit loads. Again- I don’t blame them for demanding Temple keep up with competitors but there is a huge difference between those who are paid poverty wages and those who choose to work for the school half-time so they can primarily be students. And that distinction easily saves them $12k in taxes each year, so they probably don’t want to lose it.

Maybe a dumb question but can really poor air quality cause issues other than respiratory? I’m in CC as well and have had an unexplained stomach ache since last evening.
