Side Letter: Between Student Workers of Columbia - UAW and Columbia University January 6, 2022 This reiterates our previous discussions about the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on some PhD students’ research plans and opportunities. The University recognizes that some PhD students have seen their research plans and opportunities interrupted or delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic, including but not limited to students who were prevented from having access to research collections or sites, or who were forced to depart from research locations, or who were prevented from accessing their labs. The University will continue to strongly encourage all schools with PhD programs to identify such students, and to work with their relevant departments to provide additional resources beyond the funding promised upon admission to allow these PhD students to pick up the thread of their research plans. Some schools have started to provide this kind of relief; the remaining schools have been asked to engage in this process as soon as practicable. A PhD student may also self-identify by emailing the Director of Graduate Studies and/or the Department Chair as one whose research plans and opportunities were interrupted or delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic and who needs support to reengage their interrupted research plans. A PhD student whose request for support has not been considered or has been denied may appeal the decision to the Xxxx of the relevant school. This provision shall not be construed to delay the graduation of a PhD student. The parties agree that this Side Letter is not subject to the Agreement’s Grievance and Arbitration provisions.
