Inside Higher Ed reports:
At the request of the chair of the Graduate Affairs Committee of New York University’s student government, NYU has agreed to give striking graduate assistants two more days — until Wednesday — to return to work before losing their stipends for the spring. Over the next two weeks, the committee will form a university-wide group of elected graduate assistants that, according to a letter from President John Sexton, the university has agreed to speak with about graduate student issues.
New York Post reports:
December 6, 2005 — New York University, which warned striking graduate assistants last week to return to work by yesterday or risk losing their stipends, has agreed to delay taking action until tomorrow.
A student government group had asked NYU to postpone cutting off the stipends and called on the Graduate Student Organizing Committee to suspend the strike by 5 p.m. today.
But a GSOC member said there were no plans to end the strike, which began Nov. 9. The students had been represented by Local 2110 of the United Automobile Workers until last summer, when NYU said it would no longer recognize a grad-student union.
