Caltech for Affordable Healthcare

Caltech for Affordable Healthcare is a campus group @Caltech advocating against cuts in student healthcare.

How much did @Caltech increase grad student health care costs during the pandemic? Out-of-pocket costs are going up 2-5x more than they have over the last five years. #NoHealthcareCuts

Tonight on the ides of March .@Caltech sent postdocs and graduate students an email on behalf of the Board of Trustees telling us how much they appreciate us. Here are five times we've felt especially appreciated by Caltech.

5. Hazard pay is still not guaranteed, but that didn't stop a senior administrator from saying that they don't get hazard pay on April 2, 2020. https://t.co/GXInUDPy3D

We've put together a report detailing the status of graduate student healthcare at @Caltech , based on survey data collected by the @CaltechGSC. Women and nonbinary and chronically ill folks bear the brunt of inaccessible and expensive health care!

@Stanford *aggressively* undermines the safety of essential workers w/ unsafe working conditions + punitive testing protocols

Between 1909 & the 1960s, California sterilized 20,000 mental patients & prison inmates, most without their consent. Some Caltech leaders supported “eugenic sterilization” through membership in the Human Betterment Foundation. Learn more of this history: https://t.co/ANB5hN9T94

In June, BSEC created a petition outlining steps @Caltech must take to combat racism. Renaming buildings was a simple, widely supported action.

Yet, the Naming Task Force continues to drag its feet. Even @latimes has taken notice. This is unacceptable.

Color me disillusioned with contemporary celebration of #CaltechEugenics https://t.co/PUrIHl1vu9

The "diverse set of individuals broadly representing the Caltech community" are 5 trustees, 4 professors, 4 admin/staff, 1 postdoc, 1 grad student, and 1 undergrad.

That tells you everything you need to know about who Caltech cares about appeasing.

[Shreyas Vissapragada @astroshrey]

hey @Caltech — eugenics is bad! wow look at that, three words and already apparently more progress than the naming committee made

[Ryan Rubenzahl @RyanRubenzahl]

@MiaDoesAstro How amazingly awful that such a poor representation of those who demanded these issues be addressed by this committee is still over 10x higher than the representation in the student body.
