Senator Bernie Sanders Urges Zimmer to Let Unionization Vote Stand
By Katherine Vega
U.S. Senator and University alum Bernie Sanders (D-VT) (A.B. '64) has written a letter to University president Robert Zimmer urging him to respect the result of last month's graduate student unionization election, according to a tweet from Graduate Students United. In October, graduate students voted to unionize, but the administration has stated that it intends to pursue legal action.
Sen. Sanders speaks at the Quadrangle Club in February, 2016 during an IOP event with Chris Matthews.
