The results of the childcare stipend are in, and the research we conducted indicates that the stipend is not sufficient to make childcare genuinely affordable for our most needy students. As a result, members of the Student Parent Group and GSU (Graduate Students United) have composed a petition with concrete asks to improve the childcare stipend program. Please consider signing this important petition in behalf of all student parents at the University of Chicago! If you are concerned about privacy, it is possible to prevent your name from being published on the online petition. (It will still appear on the petition that is delivered to Deputy Provost Deborah Nelson).

Please share the petition widely! Students, faculty, alumni and staff are all invited to sign it.
