Change in Graduate Tuition Remission Policy: According to a December 13, 2002, letter from Controller Carol Gable, "In order to comply with the Internal Revenue Code, the University must modify its procedures for assessing taxes on graduate course tuition remission. As of January 1, 2003, St. Lawrence University employees may receive annual tuition remission for graduate courses up to the value of $5,250 without any impact on their taxable income. Employees (who) receive annual tuition remission in excess of $5,250 will be taxed on the excess amount. Since the current cost of a graduate course is $1,650, this means that an employee may take three graduate courses in a year without any impact on taxable income."
Peace Conference Planned: "The Real Situation: A Peaceful Anti-War Uproar" is scheduled on campus for January 28-31. Various events are planned; details will be provided in next week's Scarlet Letter, or contact organizer Erin Cianchette, 229-7458 ext. 2 or ecianc91@stlawu.edu, or visit the Web site http://student.stlawu.edu/~ecianc91.
