Students at Dalhousie University say the school’s decision to hike tuition by three per cent this upcoming year is another example of the university not listening to their concerns.
Deep Saini, president and vice-chancellor of Dalhousie University, announced in an email to students and staff Wednesday morning that the Dalhousie Board of Governors approved the tuition hike.
Saini said the tuition hike is “necessary to maintain the high quality of our academic programming,” especially with the majority of its classes moving online in the fall semester.
Erica Seeleman, Dalhousie Student Union’s vice-president of academic and external, says she was “appalled” when she learned the news.
