The problem is that most grad students are not taking classes after the first two years, and focus solely on research. Many with masters will finish with classes even sooner.
Then it doesn’t make sense to factor in the tuition for most PhD.
Plus, I am referring to living wages calculated without factoring in any educational cost or child care cost. If they are included, the living wage will be much higher.
And people who actually do most of the work (aka grad students) are still not getting a living wage.
Support striking grad workers everyone! Search for the currently striking school, and donate to their strike fund if you can: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=support+grad+worker+strike&ia=web
That’s actually highly variable. Some schools have come a long way in that regard
AFAIK there is no school paying a living wage (based on MIT living wage calculator) to all their grad student yet, at least not in most major cities.
The grad workers union of JHU has just won a wage that is somewhat close to living wage, but not there yet.
Depends if you factor all the free credits in ig
