They. Gotta. Live. When I need RAs I'm not paying them based on the perceived difficulty of the work, I'm paying them so they can eat.

I pay RAs $25/hr.
If I am required to pay undergrad RAs $15/ hour, I will definitely hire fewer of them. Silver lining: less paperwork for me.

My RA’s get paid out of grant funds and the minimum is $25/hr. I just hired 3 for $30/hr. They’re only allowed to work 20/hr per week and they gotta live. They’re still taking courses on top of that.

Plus, departments set the pay rate based on the yearly budget. If you’re given $100k for the fiscal year, you budget accordingly. Hire accordingly and pay them, because they’re already saving depts money by not having to hire more faculty. 🤷🏽♀️

I think I get the logic of his. A dead RA will always do less work than an alive RA. Very smart.
