 Subject: MASSMAIL - Graduate Assistant Tuition Waivers

In the last 24 hours there have been many questions about the University's 
intention regarding tuition waivers.

Let me be as clear as possible in response to this issue. The excellence 
of our graduate programs depends on our capacity to provide fair and 
reasonable expectations for graduate assistants regarding their tuition 
waivers.  

Graduate students with assistantships will not have their tuition waivers 
reduced while they hold qualifying assistantships, are in good academic 
standing, and are making proper progress toward graduation in the program 
in which they began.  

This commitment is consistent with our long-standing and ongoing 
University practice.
