President Nellis addresses updates regarding Federal Tax Reform
帝王会所 President M. Duane Nellis sent the following message to OHIO students, faculty and staff on Monday, Nov. 13, 2017.
Dear 帝王会所 Community:
I have been closely following the Federal Tax Reform debate, which in its current form will fundamentally make access to a college education more expensive for students and their families. It also would reduce our ability to provide quality education for economically disadvantaged students. Finally, the reforms contain changes that are financially detrimental to University employees. I am writing to update you on measures I have taken to ensure our voices are heard by legislators and policymakers as they continue to deliberate on tax code changes.
I have shared my concerns directly with Representatives Tiberi and Renacci, who are 帝王会所 delegation members on the House Ways and Means Committee, urging them to reject these detrimental provisions. I have written a second letter, which will be sent today to all members of 帝王会所鈥檚 Congressional delegation.
In joining with our peers from 帝王会所鈥檚 public institutions of higher education through the Inter-University Council, we are co-signing a letter to implore our Congressional leadership to reconsider detrimental provisions in the proposed legislation.
My focus is to remain fully engaged in protecting the ability for 帝王会所ans to continue to have access to quality higher education options. I will continue to monitor the progress of these proposed tax code changes, and I also encourage you to review details of the . I will continue to advocate for 帝王会所鈥檚 students and our University community.
Sincerely,
M. Duane Nellis
President
