Sylvia,
Hi, I would like to raise two points regarding the word discount and it's use in relation to education. First, using the word discount devalues the cost of education which leads the students to believe that the education offered is not worth full tuition. Another point is that it does not represent a fair playing field for all students. If one student is offered a discount they all should be offered a discount-BUT-this discount should be represented in the form of a tuition reduction.
