Not letting your grad students take medical leave without losing both their stipend AND health insurance is academic eugenics and you know it @GC_CUNY! What’s being done about this @psccunygc? #academicableism #AcademicTwitter #healthcare #phdstudent

If you're funded via a grant it also means you can lose your project which might be the bulk of your diss work 🙃

I was one of these 3. This is not only a ridiculous and embarrassing oversight, but it’s essentially academic eugenics. No surer way to make sure disabled students drop out of your program ✌🏻

Heard from THREE graduate assistants who all wanted to take medical leave in the last year, but upon researching it, decided they couldn't afford to, because taking MEDICAL leave makes you lose your MEDICAL insurance.

When I, as a PhD student with debilitating PTSD, cannot get a year of medical leave without losing my stipend AND my health insurance

CUNY students/alums, what was the moment you realized CUNY needed more funding?

2/22/2022 is a great day for Biden to cancel $2 trillion in student debt.

What if I told you that I also have trouble initiating things that I LIKE to do?

[Miranda Hajduk 🏳️‍🌈🦔 @profhajduk]

@KarlSteel This is a little too relatable, but comforting that overtired overworked grad students aren’t the only ones who do this 😅

@the_emilyap I’m getting to teach that translation of Beowul in the Spring, any tips for how to approach it?

[Miranda Hajduk 🏳️‍🌈🦔 @profhajduk]

@the_emilyap Solid choices solid choices

I make $24k and pay $1900/mo in rent. If you’re doing the math, that’s just $1200 left annually (ANNUALLY) for utilities, food, and cat litter. This is not a living wage.

@thelindsayellis Thank you for the parts of your soul you sold to us. You’ve influenced my intellectual journey so much. I’m sorry people were so cruel, and I’m sorry you’re suffering so much for it. I hope the life you’re building now is one full of healing, love, and support. Goodbye Lindsay 🥺
