It's not about privilege.  It's a benefit/perk of the low paying jobs in academia to get a tuition break for your own kids.  Most profs/staff would be just as happy if the tuition break carries over to other schools (and it does at some universities).  They want the tuition break that they have been told is a perk of lower paying employment for years.  Same with staff----most staff in academia would get paid more outside academia.  [/quote]

Everyone who makes the same salary as an academic, but who is not an academic, has just as a good a reason to have that job as the academics do. There is no reason to privilege academics just because they took a low-paying job over anyone else who took an equally low-paying job.
[/quote]Different  jobs provide benefits from their establishments.  Consultants who travel a lot get free airfare or hotel stays from racking up points.  This isn’t ‘privilege’.  This is a benefit of that type of job.  Other sales jobs might give out extra entertainment tickets to professional venues. Schools offer reduced tuition to the employer and their dependents.  It’s just a benefit that the institution offers their employees.  You can go work for them, too.  It sounds like you covet the benefits that they offer.  Well, go apply for a job there. [/quote]
