Our grad union is in hearings with the NLRB this week and we just got these gems from Dr. Sara Wadia-Fascetti, Vice Provost:

GENU-UAW, asking if there is a distinction in PhD workers: "Does a fellow and a SGA work in the lab side by side?"

Vice Provost: "They don't work."

...

GENU: "Is research hard work?"

VP: "Research is challenging"

🙄 Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to BEING CHALLENGED we go 🎶
