Task Force Set to Discuss Graduate Student Stipends
By Jessica Bonnem and Nikki Werking | September 17University officials said Monday that a new task force will meet in early October to discuss teaching and research assistant stipends. The committee, which was created over the summer, will examine the factors that determine the value of stipends and will compare them to peer institutions, said Branson Page, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Federation. George Harper, a student member of the task force, said he thinks UNC-Chapel Hill's relatively low stipends are a major problem and threaten graduate school enrollment.
