Graduate assistants are paid a stipend from the university that most rely on to pay rent, she explained. "They need to be on campus somewhere and have pretty much the same rent," she said. "Those are, like, the big two priorities." "These desirable, peaceful, culturally diverse communities and the 27 acres of trees and serene nature found there are one of UF’s greatest assets," it states. "Protecting these family-friendly villages and incredible green spaces for future generations of Gators is in the best interest of the University and the graduate students who will utilize them for years to come."īryn Taylor, communications chair with the GAU union, said there are two main considerations when it comes to graduate student and family housing: price and location. It also directs supporters to a website with pictures, testimonies from affected residents and more. The new petition is still calling for UF to reopen the villages' units to graduate students and families seeking affordable housing as well as a complete reversal on the university's plan to demolish Maguire and UVS starting in 2023. Almost 900 people signed on calling for the university to allow students to continue moving into apartments in the two villages and demanding "clear, concise and honest documentation as to the future of graduate and family housing at the University of Florida."
It follows an old petition posted about two years ago by the UF Mayors’ Council in Graduate and Family Housing around when the closures were first announced.
