Columbia to pay student workers $15 an hour
Columbia will increase the hourly wage paid to students on work-study and in other part-time positions to $15 an hour, Provost John Coatsworth announced on Monday.
In an email to students, Coatsworth said that the University “will be raising the pay rate of all part-time hourly student workers to $15 per hour over the next three years,” and would “soon provide further details further details about how this will be achieved.”
The change comes after lobbying from student activists on Columbia’s campus including Student-Worker Solidarity, as well as efforts from activists nationwide to secure workers a $15 minimum wage. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also have committed to implementing a $15 minimum wage for public employees.

All Columbia has to do is raise tuition to cover this stupidity.
“New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also have committed to implementing a $15 minimum wage for public employees.”
Of course they are, it is not their money! Liberals are always free with somebody else’s money, especially when it is taken at gunpoint.
