I agree completely with what was stated above, considering that the tuition waivers have been discussed for months now in all of the releases from the GEO. I must express my disappointment in the university regarding this issue, considering the facts that have presented above. If "the university has never intended to furlough graduate assistants," why not make that a part of the contract language in the manner the GEO is asking for? I am interested to see how this will turn out in the long run.
