Hi, there; l' T. E& x, E \6 f
A* ^4 F# }% [! 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. ) \$ N5 P# f: t( B

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
5 K- y$ K z) l$ g! J- DCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad . @+ O$ v" T2 a* ~+ o6 R B
news to report from that meeting.
2 v4 F8 [4 }3 h: O v5 O! }( F& R) U+ J3 ?3 A- }
First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
4 L8 D2 p8 }' v8 w" Q9 _undergraduate international students from the increase to the 9 N! w6 A1 Y9 f/ l' q
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
/ Q! n p8 k G1 T8 h9 dstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base ( M! G5 P- H- P* t- V
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%). ( d1 d4 R M. i, j& i, b; c
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
6 i5 x- e9 e5 j& Ythe differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an 9 h) R5 D: q/ n6 T, U; q6 I
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to . L- s1 `" V/ r
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
- s8 E6 c+ b, y( w" [$ Y4 swill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At ! B- l$ a/ ?0 s% W, w3 e: l0 U
least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in

increases once they are here.6 q' t6 \, X* F) g6 U

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the 1 l/ A5 B8 K& z; x2 S3 w
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
