Drop Fees Rogers Coverage (Guelph, ON, Canada)

Increase Funding and DROP TUITION FEES!!!

This is news coverage of the Day of Action by the University of Guelph Students, High School students, Community Members, Family members, and of course the temporary youth shelter.

The rally began in the centre of the University, attracting hundreds of student. It culminated with a MARCH downtown shutting down the main streets and intersections in Guelph all the while the students made their voices heard.
With such chants as,
Guelph Students, under attack
What do we do?
STAND UP FIGHT BACK!!

Today was the first in many days to come of student action, and a declaration from students across Ontario, and of course Internationally that we will not sit down, and we will not be quiet. Dalton McGuinty must recognize the need to invest in our societies future, and drop his broken University plan of "Reaching Higher".

Cheers.

The union-run NDP sided with the union over students in the York U dispute.

With current funding levels, we COULD HAVE FREE TUITION. All it would take is a roughly 30% spending cut by post secondary institutions. A few ways:

*Slash administrative duplication, kill some departments.

*Contract out some services.

*Stop doing porkbarrel construction projects.

*Use more sessional profs.

*Stop using universities to subsidize private-sector R&D.

*Reduce enrolment/increase admission requirments.
