This will make research and education more expensive, as the operating
costs for universities will grow substantially. The fact of the matter
is that universities like Harvard can have their pick of students, and
therefore can easily pay them less; increasing grad student pay does
little, if anything, for them. A more efficacious strategy would be to
convince less prestigious institutions to pay their graduates students
more, and thereby attract better students. This might, in turn,
attract higher quality faculty, benefiting the institution (faculty,
grad students, undergrads) overall.
