Missouri grad assistants worry about social media monitoring
Among hundreds of pages of university emails related to campus unrest last fall, including the resignations of President Tim Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, the university's News Bureau included Facebook postings from the Forum for Graduate Rights page and from Connor Lewis, co-chairman of the Coalition of Graduate Workers.
Mary Jo Banken, director of the News Bureau, said the Facebook postings were added to a collection of news articles and that their inclusion doesn't mean the bureau is spying on graduate students.
The coalition wants better pay for graduate assistants, guaranteed tuition waivers, more university housing and on-campus childcare programs.
