After failing to negotiate a new three-year contract with the University of Michigan, teaching assistants staged a walkout, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported yesterday. Michigan's graduate student teaching assistants are represented by the Graduate Employees Organization, a union which comprises 1,700 students, according to the Chronicle. Their primary concerns are salary increases and mental health care provisions. The teachers assistants are demanding a nine percent salary increase for the first year of the contract followed by a raise of at least three percent for the following two years, as well as an allowance for more visits to mental health professionals. The walkout disrupted Tuesday's classes and interrupted construction at Michigan Stadium. Undergraduate students' reactions were varied -- some said they were pleased with the free time the strike created, while others expressed frustration at missing classes for which they had already paid. Some also feared that a nine percent raise for teaching assistants could precipitate a tuition hike, according to the Detroit News. The strike is scheduled to continue through Wednesday.

At a time when top universities are making headlines for expanding their financial aid packages, elite college preparatory schools are spending their endowments to cut tuition as well. Endowments at independent private high schools have soared in recent years -- the average endowment per student rose 93.5 percent, according to the National Association of Independent Schools. Many schools have used this windfall to attract lower-income students. The percentage of students at boarding schools receiving financial aid nearly doubled from 22.5 percent in 2000 to 40.9 percent in 2007. Private high schools have also used their endowments to build new athletic facilities and amenities that rival those provided at many colleges.
