The following appeared in a letter from the faculty committee to the president of Seatown University:
A study conducted at nearby Oceania University showed that faculty retention is higher when professors are offered free tuition at the university for their own college-aged children. Therefore, Seatown should institute a free-tuition policy for its professors for the purpose of enhancing morale among the faculty and luring new professors.

Furthermore, it is not clear the actual faculty retention rate of both Oceania Unievrsity and Seatown University. Faculty retention rate of the latter might be better than the faculty retention rate of the former. In this case, offering free tuition will not be auspicious for Seatown University.
