Hey there.
You could get decapitated around here for saying things like that. UMSU doubles as the secret police.

I'm tired of UMSU messing around where they shouldn't. I'm all for affordable tuition, but when the lack of funding starts to affect the quality of education, raising tuition should be seriously considered.

Demanding the freeze (or cheaper) regardless of how much funding is given by the government is greedy and makes it seem like you dont care about the value of your education.

Ask any student and they will tell you that the facilities and classes need improvement. Not just in engineering either, but in all faculties.

Unfortunately the situation has been this way for so long that many students just assume that what we've got is the best it could be and are willing to settle, but in reality, there is vast room for improvement. We barely have enough money to maintain the infrastructure on campus, let alone improving the number of and availability of classes.
