Graduate Students Protest Presidential Selection

September 5th, 2014 by Mike Vasilinda

Thirty graduate students chanted and briefly caused the FSU Presidential search committee to recess. The students are unhappy with the makeup of the selection, which they say is composed of corporate or lobbyist interests. Tara Baldrick-Morrone says the students fell left out.

“I don’t have a voice here. In fact, graduate student assistants do not. The only graduate student on the board is a law student so my interests aren’t being reflected” says the graduate student.

The students were angered when a motion to put more students on the search committee was rejected. Graduate assistants teach more than one fourth of all classes at FSU.
