Hi, there

9 d) i' r1 _, R8 S  y; `+ c( ~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.

9 N5 U. c& c: g6 K* w. e) y( k3 V
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.
) R5 ]* O( G4 H" ?
8 O; y) H+ g( eFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
5 U0 |& {' k7 r2 q+ H5 Eundergraduate international students from the increase to the
$ G6 a& n5 t& F! P$ rdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
8 l" V2 g2 `. g: }+ H7 ltuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
, M% d* h# P/ `. S; P5 H/ W7 Sthe differential for international graduate students.

8 K' o, x: E# e; m8 }9 yNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
9 B% @/ M, E; A, S) V3 E9 }6 Oincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
0 {7 G+ q3 x! |220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At

tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected

# {  p: R; i: k- K
The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the

7 C/ C5 }* g+ n. T- e/ Qwould like to say thank you to all of the international students that
