U. Iowa grad students shut down board meeting, demand ‘emergency’ 25 percent raiseGraduate students disrupted a University of Iowa Board of Regents meeting Wednesday to demand their salaries be increased by 25 percent to reflect the growing cost of living.About 30 students and union leaders attended the Iowa City meeting to make their demands, shouting and chanting long enough that the regents ended the meeting early, the local chapter of the Campaign to Organize Graduate Students union wrote on X.“You know what they say, ‘if we don’t get it, SHUT IT DOWN,’” COGS wrote, posting photos from the meeting.Many protesters wore black COGS union T-shirts and carried signs calling for a “living wage.” One sign read, “I can’t afford veggies,” and another told the university leaders to “get a brain,” photos show.“Unionized grad workers and their allies are at the @IowaRegents meeting to demand an emergency wage increase and a more equitable Iowa university system for ALL!” the union continued on X.A few students signed up to speak to the regents during the public comment period, but the protesters’ chants to “shut it down” succeeded in ending the meeting before anyone had the opportunity, The Gazette reports.Responding afterward, university leaders said the students already received a 3 percent raise that they negotiated, and their salaries are “highly competitive with other Big Ten institutions in the Midwest.”
