    Yup. They are such weird little capitalists too. In some sense, via normal institutional mandates like tenure, they get quasi unfettered access to a labor pool that is all at the same cost to them. It's against their collectivized interests to join students in demanding raises because their own grants and bottom lines benefit from lower grad student wages.
