International tuition. Let's get it on.

Hi, there

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.

, H! P1 v6 i0 e- A2 i
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
% H/ N. w9 E/ @6 a6 H9 z, RCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
7 t9 C+ k, l5 Y* J  r8 i& t- Nundergraduate international students from the increase to the
! w; h( E- L6 K9 _/ x3 ]* Y. Fdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
  Q; c! H7 H. e0 h! g1 Ostudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
" h' t, j1 k1 k. n' |( pthe differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
% b0 P' m$ w2 s- T* H! a8 J; Hwill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
5 D) x& S6 x, C( O' B# Xtuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.

5 M  R, b5 `$ L) E* zThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
" C6 K& A9 N0 I- g- Q  binternational differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
' w2 o0 `) u  k3 m! X# Y0 Ehave sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
( F0 }% w' T, r2 y/ Nhelp. Thank you.
