Hi, there
* z: w/ h( N5 {2 y* U
) }; s7 T4 ?/ ?: f" ]- ~: n3 o7 fGood 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. # } z- [ S% A; z. m( i

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an ) X n1 I4 m- ~& ~9 S
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to 5 L2 s, B4 R; n/ ~
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
