Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie.

How is a person supposed to even afford to go to school when tuition goes up nearly $1,000 from one year to the next?

Niagara College Board of Governors voted an increase to tuition fees in February of this year, despite Student Governor Dan Tweyman's objections - he tried to declare it a conflict of interest, and was overruled by the Board's Chair, Michael Scott. Here's a link to the meeting's minutes, and the Board's website.

Plainly, this is outrageous. They have, of course, raised them well below the percentage caps set by the province, and that will be their selling point. That does not make it any less unreasonable, especially with the economy in its current situation. If anything, fees should be brought down as much as reasonably possible.
