Is she a good employe? Is there any reason why the job can't be done Tuesday-Friday? Think business case not "we've always done it this way." And does agency policy allow 4-10 arrangement? If I could answer yes to those questions then sure let her try it.
Most university systems require several years of full time employment BEFORE any tuition reduction policy is effective for dependents so the employee's reasoning is suspect.
Accept her resignation.
She barely finished her training since she's only been there 2 months and training takes 6 weeks. I'd wish her well on her new job. Who in their right mind expects a company to keep your job if you disappear for 6 weeks?
Cut her loose. Renegotiating employment terms after two months? She will be high maintenance and come up with another reason for a major accommodation later.
She will not be able to maintain both jobs, and ask you for more schedule changes. The other job will change their hours and that will require you to change yours. And so forth.

This popped out at me as well, and I have never heard of tuition remission for the children of a part time employee. Anyway, no, I would not give her a six weeks LOA so she can train for another job.

Yes, this seemed bizarre to me as well. I have a friend who worked as a PT employee at a university and she received no benefits. I think people who go on in the exempt class qualify for the benefits immediately in some cases (as opposed to having to wait until you finish probation), but she'd still have to be full-time. My guess is that the 6 weeks is some trial to see if she can get that position and then she'll just end up leaving anyway.
This 2 month employee sounds very high maintenance. Take advantage of her request and get rid of her now.
