there are tasks to be done. there is compensation and so on.

but the way that the university perceives that is that this is a shared responsibility between the instructor and the ta.
X
4.6

4.2
Unknown
Unknown
to really help the university achieve its goals of educating the next set of students and-
N
4.4
4.8
4.4
Unknown
Unknown
particularly, my feeling is that that educational mission works best when the ta and the instructor are on the same page. they're trying to achieve-

4.2
Unknown

achieve the same mission and they're trying to really educate students in a meaningful way.
N
4
4.6

that changes that dynamic. and there's less flexibility than-

less opportunities i think for them to really be of the like mind.

i think many of my peers and colleagues feel exactly the same way.

we just can't reach students in the same way that tas can. they're near an age, they're near in thought process.
X

3.4

Unknown
and they play such an important role that i wouldn't want to feel like every interaction i had with that ta would be somehow governed by an external relationship that-

but where these workers say that they feel like they're being treated unfairly frank-
N
4
3.4
4.4
Unknown
Unknown
one of the issues at the heart of this drive.
X
4
4
4.2
Unknown

and so i think that our students will see that this policy really has heard that concern and has taken really positive steps to achieving outcomes that i think that are-
X
4.6
4
4.2
Unknown
Unknown
and she had said that policy, there's no real legal backing for it.
N
4.4

but the policy, the university could just say.
N
4.4
3.8

we're not going to do that. how likely is it the university wouldn't honor its agreement through the policy?

we don't have a collective bargaining agreement with any of our-

allow for this flexibility that you were talking about earlier with your tas.

that we want pedagogy to guide what happens in a relationship between the instructor and a ta. we want-

the midterm exam, then we have to figure out that scheduling.
O
3.8
4.2

but it should be figured out collectively. and that can be done amicably and it can be done productively between the student and the instructor.

oh it can be a benefit to the employee.

but can it also be a case where the employee is being asked to do something that maybe is unfair?

i don't ever imagine that we were going to have a situation where people would try to-

Unknown
Unknown
and in fact if that were the case, and this is a really important point-
X
4
3.6
4.8
Unknown
Unknown
whereas the current system right now, it's a student who has to take action individually and complain about somebody who may be writing them a letter of reference for a highly competitive job.

the idea that the university believes and that the culture at the university is creating is that there is student advocacy at every level of the university and that-

i can tell you that probably one of the most remarkable experiences for me is when i'm on the stage at convocation and when a student who's had a-

for me, that is the single most rewarding thing that my job could allows and-
H
4.2
5.6
4.4
1355
Male
and when i'm able to either work with my colleagues or by myself, get-

3.6

involved in these kinds of cases and advocate with students.
N

4.8

Male
i'm eager to play that role as is so many of the members of the graduate student community.
H
3.4
5.6
4.6
1356
Male
so the idea that students are on their own in these issues is not consistent with my own experience and-
X
3.2
4
3.8
1356
Male
i think that the need for an external collective bargaining unit to represent students-
O
3.6
3.2
3.4
1356
Male
i think we have enough student advocacy at the local levels, at all levels of the university to ensure that students are well looked after.

1356
Male
hey, i've done all this work and i still got much more to do.
X
3.6
4.2
4.4
1356
Male
a lot of these disagreements that arise between graduate students and their instructors or their supervisors. it-
O
4.2
3.4
4
1356
Male
it's really a lack of communication and a lack of expectation setting. we teach in our supervisory workshops that we provide along with the center for teaching excellence.
X
4.4
4.4
4.2
1356
Male
we actually recommend strongly to our faculty members that they do this exercise with students when they take them on as graduate students where they sit down and they say-
X
3.8
4.6

1356
Male
agree that five days is what the expectations should be between them.
N

at the beginning of each ta ship there is a set of expectations that are set out.

midterm being how many hours should be dedicated to that.
N

that expectation. so the scenario that you've provided where students two thirds of the way through the class and has already spent 160 hours should never happen because the expectation should-

has published a guide to graduate student supervision and this is available on the gsba webpage. and i-
X
3.6
4
4.2
1356
Male
really encourage students to take a look at this and faculty members to take a look at this.
X
4.8
4
4.4
1356
Male
it lays out the expectations for students and what agency they have and the roles that we expect them to play. and-
N
4.4
4.8
4.4
1356
Male
the real key thing is that students feel empowered to act on their own behalf.

formal policy backing that they can point to when they need to have support for the kind of advocacy they're seeking.

first is we did a very deep dive into funding.
H
3.6

4.2
1356

so each faculty identified programs or universities that they feel like they compete with for students. and i'm really proud to say that our funding levels in nearly all cases-
N
4.4
4.6
4.2
1355

i think based on funding and on the financial resources that are available to our students, really do put us ahead of so many of our peer institutions.
