Students, staff, and faculty are constantly being asked to do more with less - less funding, larger class sizes, and increasing demands are causing stress and burnout within our community. We can make things better if we work together. Share your thoughts by scanning the QR code.

According to Research InfoSource Inc, graduate students at UofG brought in an average research income of $59k/year in 2024. Most graduate student stipends fall between $17k-22k/year, before tuition. Where does the rest of that money go? Share your thoughts: forms.gle/p16hBJ3mdGRY...

Dear members, Please see this message from UofG HR re: payroll preparedness in W25. This message is not coming from CUPE 3913 but rather the UofG HR department; we are sharing this message because we lack confidence in UofG to share this message to members in a timely manner.

An important statement by the @uofguelph.bsky.social CSA. “What actions, if any, does the UofG plan to take to show graduate students they are welcome, wanted, and supported here?” Full statement here: csaonline.ca/administrati... #ISupportTheUofGGradStudents
A screenshot of a statement by the VSA at UofG. It reads “ in the University of Guelph 2022 to 2027 strategic plan, the university committed to “increasing the number of students enrolled in research based graduate programs end” and stated that “graduate students are key to their reputation as a top comprehensive, and research intensive university” however, the actions taken this year, reflect a systematic disregard for graduate students best interests. A screen shot of a csa statement that reads “ these decisions, made without a parent, student consultation, have left many students uninformed and unprepared. Research links financial stress to performance surveys show that 81% of food bank users at U of G are graduate students - 74% of them international students. the message many graduate students are hearing from university of Guelph is that they are unwelcome,unwanted, and unsupported here.
