MIT & MIT GSU CBA Updates

MIT and the MIT GSU have reached their first collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Officially ratified by the union’s members on September 22, the CBA is effective immediately and will change some of the ways we manage our graduate educational and research enterprise.

To implement some of the CBA’s requirements, we are issuing updated policies and housing these updates on this page. Please note that the information in the current Graduate Policies and Procedures (GPP) may not reflect such changes.
