LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING – GRADUATE ASSISTANT TRAINING FUND AND GRADUATE ASSISTANT ASSIGNMENT PROTOCOL The University will implement a Graduate Assistant Assignment Protocol that will support the incentive of research at the University and the provision of high-quality training opportunities in research for graduate students. Under a 2-year program from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2020 the University will create and offer a Graduate Assistant Train- ing (“GAT” Fund that will support the incentivization of research at the University and the provision of high-quality training oppor- tunities in research for graduate students working with a Principal Investigator as part of that PI’s research team. The Graduate Assistant Training (GAT) fund will distribute up to the total of $80,000 in each academic year to Principal Investigators who are in receipt of external research funding and commit to hiring a Graduate Assistant. Individual allocations under this fund will be provided to Principal Investigators with a value of up to $2,000.00. The GAT Fund shall be administered by the Office of the VPRI which will be tasked with establishing a non-competitive equitable process for the distribution of the funds for high quality training experiences. CUPE 3903 will be consulted in the establishment of this process. The University will take steps to ensure that researchers are advised of the distinction between Graduate Assistants (GA) and Re- search Assistants (RA), including the appropriate posting of GAships in order to avoid bargaining unit assignments being improperly awarded to Research Assistants. In those situations where a graduate student considers that the assignment for which they have been engaged is not properly a Re- search Assistantship they ought to discuss this first with the faculty researcher and, if not satisfied, raise this with the Union.
