1/ Excited to share my JMP! I study how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—which taxed nonprofit salaries over $1M—reshaped college leadership. Using a natural experiment, I explore how financial incentives impact presidents’ pay, exits, and priorities.

UPDATE: we made it to Ohio! The kid car, dog car, and goat car have all arrived safely. This was a logistics masterpiece made possible only with the help of Grammy, Opa, and Aunt Claire. Future self: don’t ever move again.
