Paying for tuition is an excellent way to keep dedicated, talented employees while they continue to obtain training that will help them fulfill their duties at the USPTO. But a question of fairness jumps to mind. What about all the employees who paid for their own education during the time when the tuition reimbursement program was shelved? It seems a little unfair, and unwise, to pay for the tuition of new students but to do nothing about those employees who continue to work for the Office and who paid for their own courses and degrees. This is particularly true where other agencies do provide loan repayment to keep employees.
