Thank you. I think this will be a positive development, if it survives. Is that your take too? A lot hinges on how we define "Teaching Assistants" on our campuses. We currently define them as those who are in charge of a class, i.e., named as instructors of
record. Some campuses have only two classifications: TA or RA. We have three: GA, TA, and RA.<br>
