TA/RA Withdrawn?

[anewboy]

I am currently supported as a TA and this is my second semester at this university. However, I am looking to transfer to another university and I have included my current university's GPA and position in the resume but I have not included any references from current university. If somehow, the current university finds out that I have tried to go to another university, do they have the reason to withdraw my assistantship? Does this constitute a violation of honor policy? I know people who have lost assistantships due to plagiarism. Is there any case where people have lost their TA/RA due to being caught trying to transfer to another university?

No. But you should be honest about it with your current advisors/professors. You're going to need their recommendations anyhow.

I don't really see how that'd cause you to lose your assistantship, provided you're able to fulfill the duties you're assigned.

Yeah. In fact, I think the university would be in breach of contract if they terminated you for that reason. Just make sure you've got your acceptance letter w/ funding guarantee saved.
