The election will be held although the University has asked the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in Washington, D.C., to review the ruling issued by the Regional Director of Region II on February 11, 2002, holding that Columbia's graduate research assistants and graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants are employees within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act.
