Hi, there
; b4 S# v- s9 g: ~, X! H& X0 U9 G# o: N
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. ' ? e7 W* `3 F0 U. Y6 z

Dear International Undergraduate Students,6 b/ {& C& @8 ^3 e

news to report from that meeting.

* u1 \/ L) t7 U, }7 p ^# MFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current

students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base ! L3 f. w& J# E d( x
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).

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