Hi, there

: M2 G) r2 \3 i5 a# l/ 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.

news to report from that meeting.

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

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

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
