📢 Press Conference: Cover Care for Coogs
Graduate student employees deserve healthcare coverage that meets industry standards. The University of Houston continues to fall behind by failing to cover graduate student healthcare premiums—and when graduate employees were denied a conversation, they chose to speak out.
Join us to hear firsthand testimony from graduate student employees and allies as we call for accountability, transparency, and meaningful change.
