Happy holidays, Jim Ryan! My name is Crystal; I’m a grad student in UVA's history department. Grad workers don't just teach; we're often undergrads' main source of academic support. That’s why I support my unpaid coworkers in demanding that UVA #CutTheChecks

Happy holidays, Jim Ryan! My name is Robin and I’m a graduate student worker in Biology. Maybe you can eke by with a late paycheck, but many workers at UVA cannot--especially underpaid grad workers. Is this what a great and good university looks like? #CutTheChecks

I’m a UVA alum from this past spring and in my time at UVA, I’ve counted on grad student workers to TA my classes, grade my assignments, and lead lab sections. Many friends are still grad workers there and are currently (repeatedly) late in receiving their pay! UVA #CutTheChecks

Happy holidays, Jim Ryan ! My name is Carrington and I’m a grad worker in the History department. I have not been paid my stipend this month. If we welcome only grad students who have the privilege of a $ cushion, research will suffer. Pres. Ryan: UVA needs to #CutTheChecks

Hi Jim Ryan I'm a postdoc in the Engagements program & a UVA PhD; not sure if you remember what it was like to live paycheck to paycheck or face huge fees / possible eviction because your pay was late but UVA grad students sure do so #CutTheChecks already

We're proud to share that as a result of us taking collective action, some grad student workers have started to get their payments today! We're encouraged that UVA admin has started to move on this. However, there are further concrete steps that need to be taken. #CutTheChecks
