Graduate students and university leaders came together Thursday night at a town hall to discuss pending congressional tax reform proposals and their potential impacts on the Stanford community. University leaders and representatives of graduate student organizations held a town hall Thursday night to discuss congressional tax proposals and their potential impacts on the Stanford community. Ryan Adesnik, center, speaks about the difference between the Senate and House bills. The focus: tax reform bills passed by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives that would negatively impact higher education – and in particular, provisions of the House bill that would increase the federal tax bill for many graduate students. The two houses are working now to develop a single, final bill that would be voted on by both houses and if passed sent on to the president. The contents of that final bill are uncertain now. https://news.stanford.edu/2017/12/08/graduate-student-town-hall/
