Hi, there

  I; a0 [! M: p! G% q+ @" p+ Z4 o1 {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.

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
- E3 b: d0 m, anews to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current

$ U* S  ~2 r6 w  x% t, ~differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
$ u# y# {" W/ t5 Wstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
0 [: f( n! z* ~5 ytuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
& G8 F' t  l- a  R3 Pthe differential for international graduate students.

9 q7 U9 h. v% F: YNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
" x! d' F8 `# E# @; p7 {increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
! _! D% M! L4 [; M9 W3 k! o220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
/ S/ b; ], ?6 o! j) b! ?least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected

3 h- f3 I4 o$ e+ |5 |' Y2 BThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I

increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.
