Socialist Worker Online: NYU plays hardball

ew York University (NYU) President John Sexton greeted the fourth week of a strike by teaching assistants demanding union recognition by threatening that we will lose our entire spring stipends and our eligibility to teach.

Even TAs who return to work would be bound to report all absences to the dean, or risk losing stipends and appointments for two consecutive semesters. These conditions are particularly threatening to international students, who can’t legally work outside the university.
