For much of the summer, Ive been working with the department of Innovation and Advanced Education to provide student opinion on a whole bunch of issues related to tuition and fees. However, not once did the topic of market modifiers come up -- essentially, massive differential tuition increases -- until the decision had already been made by the Minister. Take a look at the following articles to see whats going on! For Khinda, the problem isn’t so much the possibility of tuition increases, but a lack of transparency from the province. More needs to be heard about affordability, Khinda said. edmontonjournal/Province+mulls+market+correction+Alberta+tuition+rates/10138599/story.html From the Herald: “We were surprised to hear that it was even being considered,” said Navneet Khinda, chairwoman of the Council of Alberta University Students, which represents 100,000 undergraduate students in the province. “The problem here is ... students can’t be consulted because school doesn’t get in until September,” Khinda noted. “So it’s really hard for the faculty association to talk to their students and it’s hard for us to figure out what the students actually want.” calgaryherald/news/calgary/Some+post+secondary+programs+facing+steep+tuition+hike/10138462/story.html
