No, it would not.

I think most of our GAs are too old to access this privilege. Unless it goes down into the 70's.

Also not that big of a deal to me. If they don't have the academic chops, they'll flunk out. Problem solved.

It's a small drop in a very big bucket. I just can't get worked up about it. It's like the LDS version of legacy admissions at Ivy League schools.

Therefore, the privilege that is extended to employees of BYU (I.e. free tuition and admission for spouses and immediate family to the university) would extend to them based on this factor.

Most universities work this way. All full-time faculty and staff at the community college I teach for have the benefit of their spouse and/or children given free tuition to any State university or State community college of their choice.

Do any give free tuition or reduced admissions requirements to their Board of Regents?

I could see this happening on a widespread basis for private universities, couldn't you?
