My name is Teddy Warner (Chemistry G4) and I am running for re-election as GSC President. We have accomplished a lot this year and though opinion on campus is divided, I have strived to help everyone feel respected. Together, the GSC is larger than it has been in recent memory (81 members), we standardized the bylaws by fully rewriting large portions, have endorsed many statements from different perspectives, and have represented graduate students internally and externally. This upcoming year will bring a variety of challenges, such as decreased federal funding and the enactment of the SOWG Changes. My goals as President are to ensure that conditions remain fair for all graduate students in all areas, but specifically:

• Graduate students at MIT should not have their research impeded by illegal funding pauses or other budget cuts.
  • We are going to continue working in Washington, on Beacon Hill, and at MIT to support students.
• The student life fee should be distributed equitably between graduate students and undergraduates. Currently, graduate students receive ~$0.70/$1.00 that we pay into the New Fund.
  • With the implementation of the One Fund, we can seek equality.
• Policies around ethical funding sources should be established and publicized.
  • The GSC has passed resolutions concerning the Suri Report. We will work with MIT administration to ensure that grants are subject to a similar review process.

It has been a great honor to serve as GSC President (and Secretary) and I hope to continue with my work next term.
