"That’s something Margaret Mary Downey, an elected representative for Berkeley’s graduate student union and a fifth-year PhD student studying social welfare, wants to change." Wow, 5 years into a welfare PhD. Not exactly quantum chromodynamics, but she is an expert at living off the state. Seems more to me like a bunch of whiny socialist wanting everything free. I'm taxed, as income, for any grad classes my employer pays for. I'd say they are just closing a loophole. It goes both ways.
