Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
On Wednesday November 29, 2017, The UW Walkout Against Grad Tax Hike was held at the University of Washington in Seattle between the hours of 12:00PM-1:00PM. The walkout, was hosted by UAW Local 4121 and the UW Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS). The walkout at UW was part of larger national day of action against the GOP Tax Plan, which included taxing tuition waivers (Facebook). At the University of Washington students took action in three ways; 1) In a white board writing campaign at Red square, 2) Storming congress members, Dave Reichert, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and Jamie Herrera Beutler via twitter about the tax bills impact on the students and 3) by joining AFT (American Federation of Teachers) members to deliver the petition to Dave Reichert’s office (Facebook). On December 20, 2017 the Senate passed the GOP Tax Plan, considered to be the largest overhaul of the Nation’s Tax Code in the 21st Century. Prior to the passages of the Tax Reform Bill, the section focused on taxing graduate students tuition waivers as income was removed.
