Opposition
Groups have been formed in opposition to the union. These include Graduates Against Student Organization GASO, an unorganized collection of students in direct opposition of GESO, and At What Cost?, which encourages careful consideration of the consequences of forming a graduate student union. Both groups criticize GESO for their "aggressive recruiting methods." Also, these organizations argue that a sizable number of graduate students who are counted by GESO as members signed member cards solely to pacify recruiters. Membership in both groups is low, and their activity has been primarily in response to GESO actions, such as the 2003 election.
