Hi, there# }9 Z9 B- X0 J

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.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an 7 S" w/ E: W+ ~% |
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
