[PhDs] Stanford Stipend increase for next year sucks...

[Doga Cavdir]

Hi Mark, 

I feel you. One group to communicate with may be ASSU [3]. They made a
lot of progress last year by pushing Stanford for full health insurance
coverage.

We are getting shafted next year, they only increased the stipends by 2% (as opposed to the typical ~4%). And this is especially bad since inflation for 2022 is sitting at 8.5% and was 7% in 2021 (when we had a 3.25% stipend increase, also bad).
