University of Oregon Schill voices concern over the effects of proposed tax overhaul - University of Oregon

President Michael Schill weighed in on the impact of proposed federal tax reform bills on higher education in his latest Open Mike. Congress is considering changes to the tax structure that would affect graduate employees and many others at the University of Oregon and other institutions of higher education: "For those of us in higher education, the period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day is about completing research projects, taking and grading exams, and planning for the winter term. This year, however, we should all be concerned with something going on thousands of miles away in Washington, DC—namely, tax reform efforts being considered by Congress. Simply put, many of the legislative proposals could substantially impede the ability of universities such as the University of Oregon to deliver an excellent, affordable education to our students." https://around.uoregon.edu/content/schill-voices-concern-over-effects-proposed-tax-overhaul
