Nova Scotia cans Dalhousie fee hike plan

From the Halifax Chronicle Herald:

Nova Scotia's advanced education department has rejected Dalhousie University’s proposed 10 per cent hike in fees for international students.

But those students will still pay an extra 6.5 per cent.

Earlier this week, the minister approved a 3.5 per cent increase in differential fees to provide more advisers, workshops and coaches for international students.

In February, the province announced a four per cent cut in funding to universities and a tuition cap of three per cent for undergraduate and graduate students.
