Across graduate schools and departments at Harvard University, women, underrepresented minorities, LGBTQ individuals, international students, students with disabilities, and students from working-class backgrounds face a series of unique challenges in the workplace. These challenges include isolation, hostile work environments, a lack of faculty mentors, and inadequate support services for our diverse needs. They influence our ability to thrive as graduate workers and ultimately lead to differential attrition rates for underrepresented groups, otherwise known as the leaky pipeline. The University’s current policies in admissions, hiring, and graduate support have not been enough to address this crisis. Harvard University has a leaky pipeline problem, and an obligation to end it. The Harvard Graduate Student Union’sCivil Rights Committee is bringing together activists from across the Harvard community, and on April 1st, we will join together to tell Harvard to stop the leaky pipeline.
