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.

I was inadvertently tagged to do a six word memoir blog, but I really don't think I could ever sum up anything in my life in just six words.

In case anyone wants to do it ....

Here are the rules:

1. Write your own six word memoir

2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like

3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to the original post if possible, so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere

4. Tag five more blogs with links

5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

Because I tag anyone who reads this. =)
