Fifty-four teaching assistants at the University of California, Santa Cruz were fired after they refused to turn in final fall grades as part of an ongoing strike for higher wages. 

加利福尼亞州桑塔克魯茲市有54名住校,，因為參加最近進行的加薪罷工活動，拒絕輸入學生的秋季統(tǒng)考成績而遭到了開除,。

"It is extremely disappointing to us that we have to take such a drastic step, but we ultimately cannot retain graduate students as teaching assistants who will not fulfill their responsibilities," Lori G. Kletzer, the school's interim campus provost and executive vice chancellor, wrote in a letter to students and staff on Friday. 

“對于采取這樣嚴厲的做法,，我們也感到很失望，但我們實在不能因為助教沒法行使自己的職責,，而讓學生流失,，”羅瑞·吉·克萊澤說道，他是學校的臨時校園教務長及行政副校長,，這是他周五在給學生和員工的一封信中寫道的,。

About 200 graduate students at the northern California campus starting withholding grades in December, demanding an increase in wages of $1,412 that would help them cover rent near the school. 

北部加利福尼亞大學有200名學生在12月10開始拒登成績，他們要求增加1412美元的今天來幫助他們支付學校附近的房租,。

Earlier this month, the students started holding protests on campus and many stopped teaching, holding office hours and conducting research. 

這月初,，這些學生開始在校園里舉行抗議活動，多學生開始拒絕進行教學,，辦公及研究活動,。

The strike, which is not authorized by the union that represents the graduate student employees, is in violation of the current bargaining agreement, the university said. 

這次罷工并沒有經(jīng)過代表研究生員工的工會的許可，違反了相關(guān)的談判協(xié)議,，校方稱,。

UCSC President Janet Napolitano and other university officials have continuously expressed their disapproval of the student's actions. 

南加州大學的校長珍妮特·那波利塔洛以及其他的學校領導都不斷地表達了,，他們對這些學生行為并不認可。

Kletzer said the university recognizes the students' financial and housing challenges and officials are already working in ways to support them.

克萊澤稱學校已經(jīng)認識到了學生們在財務和租房方面的困難,，校方正努力想辦法幫助他們,。

Some of those efforts include an annual $2,500 housing supplement and the creation of two temporary housing assistance programs as well as a working group to develop a strategic plan for graduate program support.

他們的努力包括，提供每年2500美元的租房補貼,，并建立倆個臨時租房援助計劃,，同時還成立了工作組來為研究生的支持項目制定戰(zhàn)略性計劃。

"The students have highlighted a real need for greater support because of the high cost of housing in Santa Cruz and limited campus housing available to them," Kletzer said. 

“這些學生們強調(diào),，他們確實需要得到更多的支持,，因為桑塔克魯茲市的租房價格過高以及可用的學校宿舍實在有限?！笨巳R澤說道,。
