I don’t understand how I, a grad student in the UT system make 37k a year in salary (and was offered something similar by another UT school) when my peers in California make so much less.

What happened to the UC system?

Depending on your department and funding period, this may not be a like-for-like comparison. The 34k is an academic-year minimum; the CS stipend at Berkeley is $50k over the full year [1] (of course, to be fair, it is Berkeley). That said, I do think other UCs pay considerably less and do not guarantee summer funding

Same thing that happened to the state and all its institutions - it became culturally and morally corrupt.
