On October 27 and 28, 2008 members of the Alberta Graduate
Council met with 17 members of the Alberta Legislative Assembly.
During the meetings, graduate student representatives discussed the three
policy priorities of the Alberta Graduate Council:
1. $1,500 research allowance for all graduate students
2. Creation of a SSHRC mirror in Alberta
3. Increase in base grant funding for Alberta institutions for graduate
education.
Each MLA was sent a policy document outlining the proposals of the AGC.
A copy of the document can be found here.
