This week we had two productive bargaining sessions. In the first session, we heard from Jedi Tsang about understaffing in 61b, where we would need an additional 82 TA hours and 115 tutor hours just to account for current levels of overwork, even without shortening OH queues or allowing ASEs to spend more than just a few minutes per ticket. Next, we heard from Jalen Gooch about CS 10, where there’s so few staff that readers run OH, the head TAs are appointed at only 8 hours instead of 20, there are only 6 TAs (all 8hr) and 50 AIs, and the class wouldn’t have existed this semester even in this understaffed format without an anonymous donation.
