International students' co-op fees will be reduced

TRUSU sent a letter to the Board of Governors stating their support for a reduction in international students' co-op fees.

On Monday, Feb. 22, the Board of Governors voted and unanimously agreed that a reduction would be made.

Nathan Lane, executive director of TRUSU, explained that the international students at TRU pay a percentage of their tuition in co-op fees. This means that, as tuition has increased over the past years, the portion of co-op fees that international students pay has increased to a much higher portion, in comparison to domestic students' co-op fees.
