We're rallying together as community members, faculty, and students to oppose the federal tax plan and the harm it will cause to our community, and especially to our university.
The proposed tax plan includes a $1.5 trillion corporate tax cut and a giant tax hike on graduate students. The bill would double or even triple many students’ taxes, making graduate school an unaffordable proposition except for those already independently wealthy.
There will be a nationwide rally/walkout on Wednesday, Nov 29 to support higher education and show how vital graduate students are to society. Graduate students are the bedrock of innovation and research in this country. We are vital for the structure and function of higher education in the United States. Without us, universities wouldn't have enough instructors for their college courses.
Join the nation in protesting the federal tax bill and supporting students here in Bowling Green!
