We just learned today that the UCSC administration officially accepted the joint proposal of GSA, UAW and STIHC (Students for Trans-Inclusive Healthcare) for GSHIP (Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan) benefits. Effective this fall, GSHIP will include a $75,000 lifetime benefit for transgender healthcare.
This is a significant achievement, since GSHIP at Santa Cruz will offer a larger benefit than at any other UC or at Stanford or Caltech (at least so far). In the face of major budget cuts, we not only held the line on our health care -- we got a major improvement in coverage. GSHIP coverage will now be more fair and it will help more graduate students.

But not undergraduates, nice to stay in type. Some progress is good. But to cover all is better.
