Op-Ed on GOP Tax reform and graduate students

We recently published an op-ed in Scientific American on the detrimental effects the GOP tax plan will have on graduate students, higher education, and research production at universities.

We are also working on an open letter to our California representatives in Congress as well as  the UC adminstrators to lobby on behalf of the graduate student population to either a) remove the provision on discarding tuition waivers or b) change graduate student financial packages in UC  system so students are not forced to quit mid-way through their PhDs if the bill passes with the tuition waivers revoked
