Editorial: Tax bill is not good for graduate students , Iowa State Daily

The recently passed House version of the tax bill decreases taxes for the 50 to 60 Iowans (most of whom are not farmers or small business owners) who pay estate taxes, but increases taxes for more than 3,000 ISU graduate students who receive tuition scholarships/waivers by treating those scholarships as earned income. Perhaps Republican House members have forgotten, or never considered, the many reasons we, at a university of science and technology, need to encourage graduate studies. http://www.iowastatedaily.com/opinion/article_77973fc6-d8a6-11e7-b14d-9b6923d5bbe9.html
