Maritime students warm to Memorial's frozen fees

Unopposed tuition hikes in NB, NS and PEI over the past 13 years have reached the point where we can't afford to go to university in our own province, we have to go elsewhere. This is the driving force behind a tuition freeze in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Our student "unions" can't take credit for this.

The question of the day is, what has the New Brunswick Student Alliance (our supposed lobby group) been doing all these years to get us to this point? Answer is, probably not much. Students and the public need to be mobilized in order to gain support for PSE policies that truly create accessibility, not just stop gap measures and hat-in-hand, yes-sir, no-sir, "lobbying" that we see from NBSA and and its member schools.
