STUDENT SENATOR 

STUDENT TUITION FEES 

?

MARCH .18.,. 19.7.7 

At its meeting on April 5, 1977 the University's Board of 

Governors, in the process of budget considerations, will give con- 

sideration to the question of whether to raise tuition fees for 

students in the year 1977-78. 

The tuition fee increase will seriously affect the ability 

of many students to complete their university education. Students 

have not had any increase in funds available. In fact the present 

economic situation has hurt them seriously. Financial aid has become 

more restrictive (especially the provincial grants). Unemployment is 

considerably higher and will be even higher this Summer. 

Senate must express its concern over the plight of students 

to the Board of Governors. To do otherwise would be to abdicate our 

responsibility for students. Therefore, under Section 37(n) of the 

Universities Act, be it moved 

"That Senate recommend to the Board of Governors 

that there be no change in student tuition fees 

for 1977-78. Further, be it moved that this 

motion be placed before the Board of Governors 

at its meeting of April 5, 1977."
