Good News for Graduate Students
April 7th, 2007Princeton University has just announced a new package of benefits designed to make family life easier on their graduate students. The benefits include 3 months of paid maternity leave (along with extensions of academic fellowships and deadlines); child care support; additional funds to pay for childcare; and even mortgage assistance.
Let’s hope other schools quickly follow Princeton’s lead!

This sounds exactly like the benefits mothers in Singapore are enjoying now. Initiated by the government in the hope of improving birthrate.
I certainly agree Princeton has taken a positive step forward.
