NYU Graduate Researchers United - Working Conditions Survey

NYU Graduate Researchers United - Working Conditions Survey
Since this spring, we have faced unprecedented attacks on our research projects, the security of our jobs, and the value of building an inclusive academic workplace- the current Presidential administration continues to target public funding for both our research and education, to undermine the rights of international workers in the science community and beyond, and to threaten critical advancements and protections around diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Furthermore, while discrimination, harassment and bullying have been problems in academic workplaces, the Trump attacks on international workers and DEI programs could halt progress on these issues.

Please take a moment to share below how you may be impacted by some of these actions. The more of us who fill out the survey, the more effectively we can explore ways to keep fighting back, and improve our experience at NYU under the current political climate.

Responses will be confidential. A colleague will be in touch with any questions or next steps, and ways to get involved in our effort.
