The COLAlition is a coalition of UT Austin graduate students in the College of Liberal Arts, as well as comrades from other colleges. COLA's $20,760 minimum stipend doesn't cut it in Austin, Texas. That covers only 42% of Austin's steep $49,878 cost of living. It's time we organize collectively and demand better. 

You deserve more.

The COLAlition Currently Has Four Comprehensive Demands:

1.  A $10,000 raise for all COLA grad student workers

2. To defend the humanities and social sciences from far-right attacks on academic freedom

3. A comprehensive parent-leave policy

4. No reduction in tenure-track position
