Over the course of the 2007-2008 academic year,
RIT took a close look at how students are employed. The Graduate Assistantship Task Force, led by
Andrew Moore and Lyn Kelly, discovered several compliance issues
related to student employment and made a set of recommendations for new
institute policies. This document distills the rules for
budgeting students on sponsored research projects from those recommendations.
