As you may have heard, UAW 2865, the union representing academic student employees (uGSIs, GSIs, Tutors, and Readers) at the University of California, has recently begun negotiations with the administration of UC Berkeley alongside the EECS and Data Science departments to increase staffing and improve instructional quality in the departments. As part of this process, it's important for you, as students in the departments, to share your thoughts and experiences about issues which stem from understaffing and course staff overwork.
