Hi, there

! u& m, e5 s2 X& c& EGood news. U of A plan to stop increase tuition for students who are recently in U of A. However, they will increase tuition the current students who will go to U of A next year. Sounds fair. I deeply agree.

tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
