For those concerned, the proposal to tax graduate tuition waivers is not in the new bill [View all]
It is - of course still a very terrible bill - for those students who would be affected, the House idea to tax the tuition waiver as income - is reported not to be in the conference bill. (As the mother of two fourth year PHD students, who were very concerned, I assume there are DU people the same boat as my daughters.)

Here's hoping it is true ... and, of course, this gift to the 1% fails.
