Regardless of how you may feel about student government, when the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) protests tuition fee increases, they are accurately representing the views of the majority of the student body. However, at the recent SFUO-led protest requesting a drop in tuition fees at the opening of the Advanced Research Complex (ARC), many students feel their interests were not well represented. Not because they wish for tuition to continue rising, but because they feel this particular protest was inappropriate and ineffective. And that it was.
Executive members of the SFUO showed up at the unveiling of the Advanced Research Complex (ARC) to demand the Ontario government to drop student tuition fees and further invest in post-secondary education.
The Ontario Tuition Grant has undergone its annual increase, and the province is looking to encourage more post-secondary students to apply.
Ontario schools have selected five programs to specialize in for increased funding from the provincial government.
