The End of Grad School

As 2017 winds down, United States politicians have turned their attention to long-promised tax reform. In the early morning hours of Saturday, Dec. 2, the Senate passed the GOP-proposed tax reform bill with a 51-49 vote. The bill received nearly unanimous Republican support, and zero Democratic support. People from all sides of the political spectrum have taken issue with the proposed reform for varying reasons, but one area is especially pertinent to college communities — graduate student stipends and tuition waivers.
