Hi, there1 b. S2 B, R' G8 g/ Z
) x a' r3 d l4 v) {
Good news. U of A plan to stop increase tuition for students who are recently in U of A. However, they will increase tuition the current students who will go to U of A next year. Sounds fair. I deeply agree.

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties

% Y7 _$ i* m: J7 FFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current

differential fee. This means that next year, all current international N# B4 B. W' q ?! E* k
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
& p* |4 y( m3 |) ]$ F& stuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).

the differential for international graduate students.6 ~) w9 [ I$ |

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an ) U. R) d4 w+ ^/ G
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
3 w) |+ s6 N, l/ q+ X: G- @220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students

increases once they are here.7 P& O( j6 H' a4 J

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the

would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
