WVU Graduate TAs Demand Higher Wages from the University
“Nobody wants to go to class and smell bad or not look nice but unfortunately that’s often something that we contend with because we are having to decide ‘do I want to buy professional clothes to teach on or do I want to buy food that I can eat and get the energy to get up and teach every day?” Taylor Miller, a WVU English Graduate Teaching Assistant said.
Advocates for higher wages said using SNAP benefits is only a “Band-Aid” for the issue and hope the university increases their salaries and lowers the fees they are required to pay.
