Damn, that's absurd. Where I'm at now there's bs positions like that for around $2,500k a semester for master's student research assitantships (8 hours a week during the semester), but the teaching for Ph D students is 3,000 something a course for individual courses.
There's also a teaching/research assistantship for Ph D students that I think is teaching 1 course and 8 hours of research assistantship per semester for $14k per academic year plus paid tuition. As well as 20 hour research only assistantships for the same rate for Ph D students.
And those assistantships are a bit on the lower end of top crim programs. For instance, where I studied the master's assistantships were around $13k and the Ph D around $18-19k for 20 hour work weeks over the 9 month academic year. And those have went up a couple grand since I left from what I've heard from friends still their (at least the Ph D ones).
So I'm shocked a big state university would only pay a bit over $2k per course for a Ph D student teaching. Jesus.
