National Day of Action this Wednesday!
October 31st, 2016
Hey Students!
On Nov.2 we are going ALL OUT! PC Premier Brian Pallister has stated that he wants to increase tuition fees higher than inflation to reflect Saskatchewan’s. This means tuition could increase by thousands of dollars! Regardless of the FACT that domestic and international students are already crippled by DEBT!
We demand GRANTS NOT LOANS federally and provincially! We demand public funding for post-secondary education! We demand funding for Indigenous students! We demand regulation for international student fees! We demand THIS GOVERNMENT TO INVEST IN OUR FUTURE! That’s why we’re going ALL OUT on Nov. 2!
If you are a student at the University of Winnipeg, you have academic accommodation from your professors and instructors on Nov.2, so if you have a class at 1:30 p.m. talk to your professors TODAY to receive accommodation. This means that if you have a lab, practicum, exam, test, presentation etc. you can make it up at a later date without penalty or deducted participation or attendance marks!! Faculty are fully supportive of our students because they too believe that post-secondary needs to be funded and not on the back of their students!!!
COME JOIN US at 12 p.m. on the Front Lawn of the University of Winnipeg on Wednesday. Nov. 2!
