[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the arguments on this thread could also be applied to legacy admissions.

If Legacy goes, then faculty should start assuming that the perks for their kids are next. [/quote]

These are two completely different things.

Legacy rewards kids for being born to parents who had parents who could afford to send them to an elite college during some pretty sad economic times (and conveniently dodged the draft)

Faculty hook and/or tuition break is an employment benefit - part of a benefits package and a contract. An earned benefit.

1. in both situations, it's kids being rewarded for their parent's accomplishment

2. do you think poor kids get on tenure track? Those professors usually have elite and expensive undergrad degrees as their starting point[/quote]

DP, but tuition breaks aren’t necessarily reserved for tenured faculty. Many universities offer the same benefit to their groundskeepers and custodians.[/quote]
