罢工求涨薪的研究生们遭开除

Fifty-four teaching assistants at the University of California, Santa Cruz were fired after they refused to turn in final fall grades as part of an ongoing strike for higher wages.

加利福尼亚州桑塔克鲁兹市有54名住校,因为参加最近进行的加薪罢工活动,拒绝输入学生的秋季统考成绩而遭到了开除。

"It is extremely disappointing to us that we have to take such a drastic step, but we ultimately cannot retain graduate students as teaching assistants who will not fulfill their responsibilities," Lori G. Kletzer, the school's interim campus provost and executive vice chancellor, wrote in a letter to students and staff on Friday.

“对于采取这样严厉的做法,我们也感到很失望,但我们实在不能因为助教没法行使自己的职责,而让学生流失,”罗瑞·吉·克莱泽说道,他是学校的临时校园教务长及行政副校长,这是他周五在给学生和员工的一封信中写道的。

About 200 graduate students at the northern California campus starting withholding grades in December, demanding an increase in wages of $1,412 that would help them cover rent near the school.

北部加利福尼亚大学有200名学生在12月10开始拒登成绩,他们要求增加1412美元的今天来帮助他们支付学校附近的房租。

Earlier this month, the students started holding protests on campus and many stopped teaching, holding office hours and conducting research.

这月初,这些学生开始在校园里举行抗议活动,多学生开始拒绝进行教学,办公及研究活动。

The strike, which is not authorized by the union that represents the graduate student employees, is in violation of the current bargaining agreement, the university said.

这次罢工并没有经过代表研究生员工的工会的许可,违反了相关的谈判协议,校方称。

UCSC President Janet Napolitano and other university officials have continuously expressed their disapproval of the student's actions.

南加州大学的校长珍妮特·那波利塔洛以及其他的学校领导都不断地表达了,他们对这些学生行为并不认可。

Kletzer said the university recognizes the students' financial and housing challenges and officials are already working in ways to support them.

克莱泽称学校已经认识到了学生们在财务和租房方面的困难,校方正努力想办法帮助他们。

Some of those efforts include an annual $2,500 housing supplement and the creation of two temporary housing assistance programs as well as a working group to develop a strategic plan for graduate program support.

他们的努力包括,提供每年2500美元的租房补贴,并建立俩个临时租房援助计划,同时还成立了工作组来为研究生的支持项目制定战略性计划。

"The students have highlighted a real need for greater support because of the high cost of housing in Santa Cruz and limited campus housing available to them," Kletzer said.

“这些学生们强调,他们确实需要得到更多的支持,因为桑塔克鲁兹市的租房价格过高以及可用的学校宿舍实在有限。”克莱泽说道。
