It’s the right choice. We need academia to be a competitive choice, to attract top talent, to not just be those with enough resources or enough passion to put up with awful pay and working conditions.

If high quality grad students are lining up to apply to Stanford at non unionized salary rates, and you can also give more people the educational opportunity with slots than if you had to distribute higher salaries to fewer people, why would I choose the 2nd option?
