In a victory for New York University, its graduate teaching and research assistants have ended the contentious strike that disrupted hundreds of classes last November, without having won recognition of their union. NYU's student union leaders said yesterday that their members had decided to halt the strike at the end of the last school year, in part because as much as 30 percent of the membership turned over each year, and because they believed the whole membership should choose which strategies to pursue.
