> Hi all,
>
> As you know, the Graduate Center was all-online this past year, and many states and countries (including New York) had various travel restrictions and advisories in place. Therefore, many first year students across the Graduate Center chose not to move to New York for their first year out of concern for their safety from the virus.
>
> However, GC fellowships only cover out-of-state tuition for the first year, and if new students do not establish residency in New York, they are responsible for paying the difference between in-state tuition and out-of-state tuition in future years.
>
> A group of PhD student activists at the Graduate Center have written this letter (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSNxShXh0MK0Odm676QL8JPbYjundKQYS_W1cGbL5wbFophg/viewform) requesting that the GC extends the out-of-state coverage to our current first year students for the 2021-2022 academic year. Please consider signing in solidarity with first year students on fellowship at the Graduate Center.
>
> Please share widely!
>
> All the best,
> Roxanne
