Last I heard, there was pretty solid agreement with respect to the
tax exemptions of tuition waivers.  There were still things to be
ironed out with respect to the tax status of faculty kids and those
who have their tuition money paid for by the corporations they work
for.

By the way, our University has proposed charging tuition (not fees) to
ABD's who no longer take coursework, claiming that this is standard
practice at most "research one" institutions. My question, of course, is
how standard is this practice?
