According to a university official, with no explanation of how they came up with that number. Unions typically needs a certain percent of the vote to approve a strike.

IMO — this will impact prospective students’ opinions towards the university for a longer time period than the strike.

The union represents 750 grad students and 150 are striking.

150 are publicly striking.

If I were a CS grad student at Temple, I definitely wouldn't strike. But after this hooplah I definitely wouldn't be slinging code at $10/hr either. After all, I'm a good programmer who can write papers and prove theorems and I make $2xK a year. What are they gonna do if I fuck off from running recitations and work on my own stuff or try and sell out my advisor's few half decent ideas to the local VCs? Fire me? LOL.

Lie about when your graduate course credits expire? I guess this is why serious programs don’t have a coursework requirement…
