As reported by CTV News:
Students were taken aback at the University of Calgary’s proposal to hike some tuition fees by as much as 47 percent.
“I think it’s probably fair to say all of our students are shocked by this. To talk about escalations in excess of 40 percent, that they are expected to bear in under four months, is not only unreasonable it’s totally impossible,” says Charlotte Kingston the president of the students’ union.
The university is targeting professional programs for the dramatic increase, in part, because those students stand to make more money in the first few years of their careers.
Under the proposal, engineering students would face an extra $208 per course; business students would face an extra $248 per course; law students would pay an extra $2,000 annually; students in the faculty of medicine would be asked to pay an extra $4,616 per year.
