Federal law matax
GSIs' tuition waivers

By Peter Meyers
Daily Staff Reporter
Under a new federal tax law, grad-
uate students could find themselves
stripped to the bone.
In the week before the Fourth of
July break, the House of
Representatives passed a version of a
new tax bill that included a provision
to tax the tuition waivers that gradu-
ate student instructors currently
receive.
Under the present system, graduate
students who teach classes receive the
tuition waivers
from the
University as I kno
part of their
compensation. m
Although the
system can be people dr
conceptualized
as barter- out of Sc

universities
keep track of
the transactions by moving funds
from one account to another.
University Associate Vice
President for University Relations
Tom Butts, the University's lobbyist
in Washington, D.C., said that the
plan to tax waivers is a federal
attempt to tax large, profitable, public
universities. Butts said the bill
assumes that the universities would
volunteer the money to pay their
graduate ,students' additional tax
load. But there is no guarantee that
universities will be willing to pay the

difference, he said.
"It's a disaster," said Graduate
Employees' Organization President
Michelle Mueller. "I-know it would
mean a lot of people dropping out of
school."
A year of tuition for an in-state
graduate student costs $9,786. For an
out-of-state student the figure is
$19,694. If the waivers that pay for
education were taxed, GSIs paying
15-percent income tax would owe
$1,467 and $2,954 each year, respec-
tively.
This money

University, the

$8,000 per year
helle Mueller ,with different
3EO President degree programs
paying more
than others. The
Office of Financial Aid assumes that
graduate students spend $5,342 annu-
ally in living expenses.
If the federal tax law passed and
GSIs' waivers were taxed, most would
soon find themselves in debt by
roughly $300.
U.S. Rep. Lynn Rivers (D-Ann
Arbor) said she is "adamantly
opposed" to the provision.
Rivers said one of the purposes of
tax bills is to create greater equity
among taxpayers. "There shouldn't be
