UAW accuses UC of planning to cut grad enrollment after strike

By Monica Stark Enterprise staff writer

After a historic, six-week strike by 48,000 Academic Workers, the University of California has told academic departments they must reduce graduate admissions for the 202324 year to pay for the raises contained in the new contracts, according to a statement released by the United Auto Workers on Friday.

This comes in the wake of a compact between the State of California and the University of California in which the University pledged to expand enrollment by 8,000 undergraduate students and 2,500 graduate students by 2027 in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars per year in increased state funding.

As recently as Nov. 22, UC stated that “Graduate students are critical to every aspect of the University’s mission.”

“It's like they have this like public proposition, and then behind the scenes, they're doing everything they can to damage graduate workers,” Elias Bunting, a graduate student researcher at UC Davis, said. As GSR appointments are cut, Bunting says they’ll have to TA more.

“It's not in keeping with the goals that they had been saying publicly that they wanted to work on,” he said.

UAW 2865 President Rafael Jaime and UAW 5810 President Neal Sweeney have sent a letter to UC President Michael Drake demanding that he honor this commitment and reverse the enrollment cuts.

Ryan King, associate director of media relations for the UC Office of the President, said that UCOP has not provided any guidance to campuses instructing them to reduce student enrollment in the upcoming budget year 2023-24. “Given that the contract is in the final budgeting and initial implementation phase across our system, it would be premature to speculate on any impacts on enrollment.

“As is the case when new labor contracts are negotiated, especially those involving new bargaining units (this is the first contract for our GSR unit), there is an expected period of implementation where issues are brought to our attention and appropriate processes and procedures are put in place. We will continue our conversations with each location to understand where there are needs and how best UCOP can support the implementation of this vital contract.”

According to King, UC remains grateful to the Governor’s “continued support of our ongoing budget compact, as offered in his latest budget proposal.”

The University of California employs 19,000 teaching assistants, and 17,000 student researchers across the state.

According to the UAW, in a survey circulated by UAW 2865, graduate workers from 89 departments spanning all 10 campuses indicated that they had been informed of plans to reduce enrollment for the 2023-2024 academic year. Many also indicated they had heard about plans to increase class sizes and shrink the size of research groups.

The union said materials shared with workers by faculty in their departments, including PowerPoint presentations and meeting notes, confirm these plans.
