👏👏👏 we're taught that science is unbiased and apolitical yet that is not the truth! As scientists we have an obligation to educate ourselves on the history and work to acknowledge, communicate, and mitigate these in our research, teaching, and education.

Dozens of grad workers at UVa still haven't been paid. This is a recurring issue. See UCW's statement here. UVa admin: solve this now! ucwva.org/news/uva-pay-y…

Happy holidays, @presjimryan! My name is David Walsh; I’m a postdoc in the Engagements program. Grad workers *MAKE* this university, and it is unacceptable that many are still waiting for their paychecks. I support unpaid grad workers in demanding that UVA #CutTheChecks

Happy holidays, @presjimryan! My name is Heather Raimer Young; I’m a Graduate Research Assistant in the UVA SOM BMG Dept. Without grad workers, my department couldn’t conduct research regularly. That’s why I support unpaid grad workers in demanding that UVA #CutTheChecks

Happy holidays, @presjimryan! My name is Robin and I’m a graduate student worker in Biology. Maybe you can eke by with a late paycheck, but many workers at UVA cannot--especially underpaid grad workers. Is this what a great and good university looks like? #CutTheChecks

I’m a UVA alum from this past spring and in my time at UVA, I’ve counted on grad student workers to TA my classes, grade my assignments, and lead lab sections. Many friends are still grad workers there and are currently (repeatedly) late in receiving their pay! UVA #CutTheChecks

Hi @presjimryan I'm a postdoc in the Engagements program & a UVA PhD; not sure if you remember what it was like to live paycheck to paycheck or face huge fees / possible eviction because your pay was late but UVA grad students sure do so #CutTheChecks already

Happy holidays, @presjimryan! My name is Ethan; I’m a grad worker in the History department. Because of the missing stipend payments, I don't have $1,000 for my rent and bills.   Pres. Ryan: UVA needs to #CutTheChecks

Hi @presjimryan! I’m Kendra, a Neuro Ph.D. student in UVA_BIMS 🔬🥽🎓, UVa Biology, & UVA Neuroscience. Grad workers are integral to UVA's excellence in teaching & research. Dozens of grad workers haven't been paid for Dec & it's 3 days until Jan 1st!! This needs to be addressed!!! #CutTheChecks

We're proud to share that as a result of us taking collective action, some grad student workers have started to get their payments today! We're encouraged that UVA admin has started to move on this. However, there are further concrete steps that need to be taken. #CutTheChecks
