Letter to the Editor: Setting the Record Straight

To the Editor:

I write in response to “In Support of a Fair Unionization Election” to make clear that student voter eligibility requirements were determined jointly by the University and the Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Auto Workers (HGSU-UAW) before the November election on unionization.

Prior to that election, the University and the HGSU-UAW reached an election agreement that defined which students would be part of a bargaining unit and therefore eligible to vote.
