The graduate student government voted to place a fee increase referendum on the spring ballot, at its meeting today.
If passed by the graduate student body, the referendum would increase funding for the financially struggling Graduate Writing Center by raising graduate student quarterly fees $1.50 per quarter – from $4 to $5.50 – and by tying the fee to inflation.
The Graduate Student Association also voted to put an advisory referendum on the ballot, which will ask graduate students to weigh in on the recent changes to UCLA’s leave of absence and in absentia policies.
