Two points:

1. It's fairly clear that students with departmental support (who are more
   frequent in the sciences) are not going to be personally as concerned with 
   financial issues.  E.g., with a $10 000 RA and $2 000 TA, people are not
   going to quibble whether their total income is $12 000 or $12 250.

2. It has been noted that some science departments (e.g., PHY, CSC) try to
   build a good relationship with TAs.  So if it is not already happening,
   perhaps it would be a good idea for some of these departments to share
   their management expertise with other departments, so that the campus-wide
   situation is improved in the non-monetary areas.
