Hi, there

5 G: c. N  W8 R/ |1 R6 L& M  bGood 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,

9 v3 z. I8 R, k; N, lYesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
) g' Z/ d' [: X3 Gnews to report from that meeting.

9 Z- [0 M3 g4 S; y8 {, m. h8 vFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
# K% @$ b1 A( ~2 w: S& aundergraduate international students from the increase to the
, h. p& f$ O/ ~2 F3 D' t1 Idifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
5 K, }8 n% I6 }6 }& A# dstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
) L3 ?3 t. x) y" J8 i: Q+ Q# ^tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
& ]; G3 F: o0 |) f6 Othe differential for international graduate students.

( T% `; _3 r2 ]6 J/ A5 RNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
# I% P  s- }" d. t3 C, @/ `increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
& A/ C9 Y! s5 \  z& j: x  Aleast, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
" g& J9 G3 A. l; s$ P% v1 u/ otuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.

/ T0 N/ z- M- R$ J8 e6 p: OThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
& B3 @" p4 d9 K$ f3 M: u& Winternational differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
