[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the huge cuts in research funding, many grad students who were being paid from grants will be available to TA.  There may also be post docs willing to TA for funding, if their grants were cut.

It probably won't be that hard to fill gaps in missing international students this fall for TA spots.
School budgets will be hit and research will slow down, but I don't think it will stop US undergrads from being taught.[/quote]

Except the TA funding gets cut when the grants and budget get cut. Without research, the grad students can’t continue their line of study. [/quote]
TA funding comes from undergrad tuition, not grants.  Labs still need to buy supplies for grad students to work, but those expenses are easier for a university to cover than stipends.  Many schools have found money for supplies already.  They aren't buying big, expensive new equipment purchases right now, but can probably float research supplies for a while.[/quote]

TA funding does not come from tuition. Tuition is one revenue source which is distributed down to departments. Departments that carry their weight on research grants carry more grad students who then carry more TA roles. [/quote]

TAs are not RAs.[/quote]
