Loyalist College reverses a $20/day holiday residence fee after backlash from students, including criticism from Sam Priems, who called the policy unfair and impractical.
Loyalist College has withdrawn a plan to charge students a $20-per-day fee to keep belongings in their dorm rooms over the holiday break after facing student criticism. The fee, scheduled to apply from Dec. 14 to Jan. 5, would have totalled $460 over three weeks.
“It’s an educational institution, so you should be focusing on what’s best for the students instead of what’s most profitable,” Priems said.For news impacting Canada and around the world, sign up for breaking news alerts delivered directly to you when they happen. “You’re an international student, like what are your options? You can’t move your stuff out to avoid the fee,” Priems said.“It was a really good exercise to kind of, I guess, stand up for myself more or else, but I guess not just me but other people,” Priems said.Loyalist College responded quickly after the issue gained attention. By Thursday morning, the college released a statement confirming that the fee would no longer be implemented.
