Of course, it would be perfectly ethical for a student to seek editorial
assistance for a dissertation, if the professor urges it.
Students for whom English is a second language quite often need more help.
However, one university writing center director I spoke with said that
they do not treat ESL students any differently than other students, they
just end up spending more time with them.
