> I would have to say the title is not sensationalist at all

It's appalling that you don't find the title extreme. No way will a tax plan completely destroy higher education as we know it.

> Where do you think those funds are going to come from?

Its simple. The schools are going to start including the cost of taxes when covering the grad students tuition costs. For example, if tuition is 50k + a tax of 10k. The schools will cover the 60k for tuition for a full ride. No school with a conscious is going to slap a grad student with a sizable tax bill.
