Well that was a fun week of panic...

It turns out our tuition waivers are guaranteed for at least the next 2 years. Now we just need to re-negotiate our contract with New York for a fair downstate wage...

At the same time, the university is saying it fully intends on covering our tuition. I'm sure they also fully intended on applying the stipend increase given to my class to future classes as well. Thats not happening, but for the time being grad students aren't being forced into the wild blue yonder that is the real world.

And since all of this is making me feel just a tad bit too optimistic, here is a nice happy podcast from This American Life about the economy.
