Examining the Decline of On-Campus Student Jobs: Impacts and Implications

This presentation by Aravind Ranganathan, Secretary of CS GSA, highlights a significant decrease in on-campus student jobs, particularly desk staff positions at undergraduate dorms. Following a minimum wage increase in January 2007, a substantial drop of 1,776 hours per week was observed, equating to an elimination of approximately 88.8 jobs. This trend notably impacts international students, especially those pursuing Master's degrees in fields like COE and COB, who rely on these positions for financial support amidst budget cuts and departmental restructuring.
