Students who participated in a strike at Temple University are being told they will lose their tuition and health care benefits

• Temple University is eliminating free tuition for graduate students who participate in a strike.
• One student shared an email from the school that gave her one month to pay a semester's tuition.
• In a statement, Temple confirmed students will be denied tuition benefits "while they are on strike."

Temple University, a public school in Philadelphia with roughly 40,000 students, confirmed Wednesday that teaching and research assistants who take part in a strike over low pay will have their health coverage suspended and be forced to cover the full cost of tuition, a move that's being condemned as unjust retaliation by union organizers and local officials.
