Graduate students from several departments have recently raised objections to Parking Services’ new policy which no longer allows graduate students to deduct parking pass payments from their before-tax income (payroll deductions). GOG recently sent a letter to Dean Heinzelman on behalf of concerned graduate students regarding these changes. To read the letter and/or comment on this issue, please visit the GOG Advocacy Forum.
