The Daily Pennsylvanian is live from College Green as pro-Palestinian activists, including Penn students and Philadelphia community members, appear all but certain to continue into their seventh day of the 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment.' The fate of the encampment, which remains in place as of early Wednesday morning, is highly unclear. Administrators are continuing to negotiate with organizers, but students have reported threats that the encampment will be cleared on Wednesday, and several have received disciplinary hearing notices.

This year, a supermajority of Penn’s graduate research and teaching assistants signed cards indicating their desire to form a union, and this April, they will finally have the chance to vote to do so. As Penn faculty, we affirm these student workers’ right to organize — a right explicitly recognized by the National Labor Relations Board. We affirm the value of the research and teaching they do, without which our university could not function. And we recognize that in building a union together, they are striving to make Penn a better, fairer, and more democratic university — one in which those who do the work of research and teaching have a voice in institutional policies that affect their lives, and in which working conditions are equitable. Today, graduate research and teaching assistants are unionized at virtually all of Penn’s peer institutions. Having a democratic voice at work has become a national norm for graduate student workers, and we support the efforts of graduate student workers at Penn to bring our university in line with this norm.

Four years ago, Penn launched its “Second Year Experience.” The current seniors will be the first graduating class required to live two years on campus with a dining plan. With the recent campus power outage, flooding that displaced more than 50 students, unexpected discoveries in dining hall food, and questions about Penn’s treatment of its dining hall workers, it is time that we call this plan into question.

In 2020, the Daily Pennsylvanian published an editorial encouraging students to look forward to 2021. After all, at that time, students were being welcomed back onto campus, a COVID-19 vaccine was on the way, and there were bountiful new opportunities for student activism beyond the 2020 presidential election.
