Reply to comment by classicrockchick in Temple University Graduate Students Go on Strike after Year of Unsuccessful Negotiations by BigxMac

Gotta push back on tuition remission being done heroic thing. It’s not. PhD “students” are really employees who contribute to the universities’ research outputs and often sign away their rights to IP. PhD students need $75k MINIMUM, as well as rights to royalties on their IP.

Oh I didn't mean to imply that it's especially awesome or anything of Temple (or any university) to do that. Like another commenter in this post said, it's the bare minimum. I just put it in there so someone wouldn't go "well ACK-SHOO-A-LEE you were making your stipend plus whatever you would have paid in tuition".
