# A* i5 k" J0 M% X* YGood 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. ) K$ V: `; E) Y4 U$ O* a. z R& s$ S

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an 3 I# R9 y2 V J) `1 U6 i
