The Graduate Students Association, in its on-going efforts of transparency, accountability and greater engagement with administration, has displayed below statistics for the upcoming 2009-2010 academic year regarding general graduate student fees, professional non-resident student fees and professional resident student fees. The main focus and priority for GSA for the upcoming year is to ensure that graduate student funding, research assistantships and TA'ships remain as high as possible and fees are stabilized as much as possible in this economic environment.

The Graduate Students Association has worked with the Office of Student Affairs to acquire information about the structure of the UC Budget, as every student's knowledge and awareness should be enhanced of this all-important subject matter given the current fiscal climate.
