Hi, there

% Z$ e! P- M/ s, AGood 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,
& _3 O+ {+ X/ O9 B" H/ `6 X- m
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.

( i6 L( H  Z9 t; _  X0 H: S1 sFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
1 C) A4 e3 Z( O7 k" d3 N  Aundergraduate international students from the increase to the
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
  E/ B$ z( d7 s' }8 u5 utuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
% Q$ e# @: d2 @- A& othe differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
1 r- P" `3 s$ P* n5 G3 dincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
0 k1 d4 s2 k. @' D: Q# T! G220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
5 x2 `9 w0 [8 h* ^. B" kwill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At

$ @% a( D+ ~' a5 }
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
