About Robert
My scholarship serves the purpose of exploring tax law in a deeper scope related to the statutory wording and interpretation. It enables the researcher to attempt to determine the reach and potential scope of the statute for the relevant taxing authorities to obtain their revenue. Tax research especially can lead to ways and means for taxpayers to create ways to plan their affairs to legitimately circumvent tax collection using the literal wording of the statute to support their case.
Bringing the research into the classroom environment enables the teacher to expand the knowledge and depth of understanding of the students in the subject matter. This is especially true in the M.S. Taxation program where the students actively seek to expand their knowledge to advance their careers and apply what they learn in their everyday work environment.
