Hi, there

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. ; M: g$ }6 g( ~; P# G

undergraduate international students from the increase to the \* v# o% X6 ~& t
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
