New Dalhousie University international students facing hefty tuition hikes
“Dalhousie’s international fees are currently below the average of our comparators,” a statement from Janet Bryson, a university spokesperson, reads. “Students will pay the same tuition price in each year of their program. This provides international students and their families with cost certainty in the face of external factors like inflation.”, “the same amount it has increased annually for more a decade now,” a Dalhousie budget document says.
“Some of the more important investments planned include increased funding for scholarships and bursaries, additional student supports, and improvements to academic buildings and learning spaces.”But the Dalhousie Student Union says the timing of the proposal is poor, with two consultation sessions happening right before a strike from CUPE 3912 members.
“It just limited our capacity to actually fully hear from students and fully understand what their needs are,” says Aparna Mohan, the student union president.“Given everything that we have endured in the last several years, especially international students, the increases did not sit well with international students at all.”
