Hi, there' i: W5 n R/ N' N' k" Z" S7 X
" r5 E$ F. {4 B7 DGood 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. 9 r. ]; V7 C0 l; l. o

undergraduate international students from the increase to the 0 u- k+ f% h* p9 H# b
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international # Y$ w" I9 r- b. D2 i# k$ X$ n

tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%). 7 s8 w$ r v# \: G; P3 X
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase

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