      1. So. Hillsdale College. It prides itself as a bastion of conservative values in academia. There was an incestuous love triangle there that ended in suicide.

      7. Anyways, Roche III was a real hero to USA right because Hillsdale rejected affirmative action & thereby lost federal funding (but in fact got special tax breaks, as now)

      8. Impossible to overstate how beloved Hillsdale is in USA right. It's their ideal college & constantly has right-wing luminaries as guests.

      9. So GOP tax bill will a) raise taxes on higher ed & grad students in general but b) carve out exemption for one college Hillsdale.

          11. A more recent Hillsdale president complained in 2013 they got a letter from Michigan Dept. of Ed. saying college "didn't have enough dark ones."

          It’s a tax on endowment investment income. Not taxing tuition revenue or fees.

          I've seen credible reports that it's more than just Hillsdale. Multiple colleges that don't take Fed $. Just amendment by Toomey, Hillsdale in PA, plus Devos $.

          They need to run so many ads on this in 2018 that “Hillsdale” will be as familiar as “Benghazi” by November.
