Basically like taxing full MSRP for something that's on sale...that can never be resold. Sounds... not legal. (Note: I also had a tuition waiver in grad school)https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/931312446761037825 …

Basically, you cannot teach someone for free if you already made another person pay. Isn't this a 1st amendment right, though? That you can speak and not be penalized for it?

I guess one way out of it for schools is to actually kill the waiver and pay these students tuition PLUS enough to cover tax on it. So a double tax for schools. And to afford that they will probably need to raise tuition on everyone else.

Looking in the replies it seems like the overwhelming response is, "of course education should not be free!" But isn't that up to the private institution to decide?
