International tuition. Let's get it on.

Hi, there
+ ?+ \) B  }+ V( b
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.

Dear International Undergraduate Students,
1 V: A3 I, g) a9 @5 R# t
3 I# u# O0 C% b+ f% ?Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.
/ ?% X* N' P3 n" `- U
First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
undergraduate international students from the increase to the
6 h& R5 ^- ^4 u( A: |6 ~! w* udifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
( p. @% m' O2 U! M% Fstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.

2 g7 E# m5 Z! P# S; \Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
7 Q9 Q: L5 d8 A9 vincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
: M0 A- C" I: X1 sleast, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.
; U: I! B9 L% ~7 i$ k4 \# R
The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
6 m$ n( J/ F# R- n. a1 ^$ X  ]" S- U  [have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
+ \# e- E! I% Ahelp. Thank you.
