[IMPORTANT]-Fighting "Tax and Jobs Act" Provisions Harming Graduate Students
by Sajid Choudhury 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Dear all, I am forwarding this email to you, at the request of the Purdue Graduate Students Government. Please see the event dedicated to calling and addressing representatives. Thank you Sajid ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: PGSG VP-Operations <pgsg.vp.operations(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 1:29 AM Subject: [IMPORTANT]-Fighting "Tax and Jobs Act" Provisions Harming Graduate Students Dear GSO Presidents, My name is Vlad Podolsky and I am the Vice President of Operations for the Purdue Graduate Student Government. I ask that you take 5 minutes to please read the below as it is pertinent to every single graduate student in the country. If you are not a GSO president, please reply to this email letting me know who is the new one so we can update our contact list. As some of you may know, Congress is currently attempting to pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which has provisions to repeal Sections 117(d), Section 127, Interest Payments on Qualified Education Loans, and Tuition and Related expanses. In short, this would mean: 1) An average Purdue, non-resident graduate student with a stipend of $15,000 and current tuition waiver would see a ~$4,705 or 263.77% increase in taxes owed from current levels. 2) The loss of the ability to deduct up to $2,500 in federal student loan interest from one's taxes 3) The elimination of tax-free employer paid education assistance of up to $5,250 per year Such changes would be detrimental to all graduate students. As such, PGSG is seeking to unite our graduate student population to fight these changes. We will be hosting a "Call Your Representatives Day" event ( https://www.facebook.com/events/150166155622271/ <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/9ee824d310b9013fcb66e05272b584caf0970c17?ur…>) on *November 27 starting at 1 pm at PGSC*. With this event, we want to encourage you and your groups to join PGSG and other graduate student organizations across the U.S. on this fight by reaching out to your representatives through phone calls, letters, Twitter feeds, and any form of communication you find appropriate. We will provide call scripts, sample tweets, and the contact information of our representatives and senators. At the same time, PGSG members will attend the event to provide support and guidance on this process. We would like for you to please encourage your GSO's members to attend, and if they cannot attend the event, please encourage them to take some time to contact their representatives wherever they may be at the time. Note that international students can also contact representatives since they are taxpayers. To help, I am attaching a letter from the PGSG president on the subject, sample tweets that can be sent, sample call scripts, and contact info for representatives and senators both in Indiana and other states. Please share this with the graduate students in your organization and departments to encourage them to make their voices heard! Thank you, Vlad Podolsky <https://mailtrack.io/> Sent with Mailtrack <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mailtrack-for-gmail-inbox/ndnaehg…>
