Abstract

"The consequences of taxing tuition waivers would be broad. Many students will no longer be able to afford graduate education. Universities will likely see a decrease in the number and quality of applications. Some enrolled students will be forced to drop out. It is also estimated that there will be a decrease in applications from international students, who will choose to attend universities abroad. The House proposal means fewer American and international students and a decrease in the quality and rankings of the U.S. university system."
