@ScroogeCap Are u short VRT or something this is the pretty disingenuous given SA explicitly calls out VRT as a beneficiary despite modest white space exposure and even given their UPS exposure
Pretty crazy take. If you take our undergrad TA compensation package and measure it as hourly pre-tax income, it's $89 to $102/hr. How is that 'unfair' comp for a 19-year old with no degree and no job experience, when it's 4x+ pretty much every other university?🤔
A good chunk of that is the tuition remission OP mentions, which 80+% goes to students who don't qualify for a penny of financial aid. As I'm quoted in the article, that means we're using other kids' tuition and state funds to subsidize tuition for those wealthier than average, which is exactly ... the opposite of what a government institution like the UC should be doing.
I question the negotiation process between public employers and labor unions. The people who run negotiations at the UC Office of the President aren't negotiating with their own money, but rather the money of the taxpayer and the average tuition payer, and the deals they agree to are in my opinion a slap in the face to the taxpayer.
P.S. here's how our undergrad TA comp compares to other universities: https://t.co/Vxx3Yh5iEm (see column G for total comp pre-tax equivalent)
@neo_antiquarian What does this even mean. The current status quo for 8th graders in SF in below Alg 1, this policy brings Alg 1 as an offering to public school students therefore providing a track for more advanced students which puts public school kids better at par with private schools
