It depends.  First, the tuition reimbursement plan has to be set up
properly for reimbursements to be tax-free (this is analogous to
regular expense reimbursement plans -- if those aren't set up
properly, the reimbursements are taxable income).

Second, I *think* that certain types of tuition aren't eligible for
tax-free employer reimbursement, but I'm less sure of that.
