As y'all know, I study higher ed lobbyists and used to work for one. A friend asked how I would lobby against the Graduate School Tuition Waiver Tax if I were still in the game. I thought about it, and here’s how I would tell students to oppose the #GradStudentTax (Thread): 1/19
First, I would shorten the name of the Graduate School Tuition Waiver Tax to the “Grad Student Tax.”

AKA: #GradStudentTax

Is it reductive? Yes. Does it get the point across? Also, Yes.

Today @DavidsonCollege announced our next President, @DougAHicks. Hicks is a @DavidsonAlums, @DukeU and @Harvard graduate, and the Dean of @EmoryOxford.

His appointment is more than meets the eye… THREAD

Our current president, @CarolQuillen, is @DavidsonCollege’s first female president and first non-alum in the role since 1957. I am thankful for her tremendous leadership and for pushing us to innovate, diversify, and focus on equity. I will miss her.

While I have LOVED @CarolQuillen’s approach to leadership, some older, more conservative members of the @DavidsonCollege community have disagreed with some of (what I think are positive) changes under her leadership.

Well, it finally happened. This #ICE International #StudentBan got me back into the “organizing effective lobbying action via twitter” game.

Want to make sure our lovely international students can keep their visas? Here’s how to do it:

Before we fight the #StudentBan, let me establish my credentials. I’m an expert on higher education lobbying. Just had a paper published on the subject. It is pretty good. You should check it out.

In 2017, I offered some advice in a twitter thread about how graduate students could stop the #GradStudentTax. Well, we won that battle. So, let’s buckle up and use the same principles to win this one against the #StudentBan.
