Letter to the Editor

What happened to our voice? On Thursday, Nov. 3, the flSF Board of Directors held an emergency meeting in response to student concern over tuition fees. A motion has been tabled, asking the Board of Directors to oppose the deregulation of tuition fees and fee increases for students, instead calling for "a continuation of the tuition freeze sup- ported by adequate public funding," to educate students on the issue, and help us get invoked in lobbying efforts at the provincial government level. According to Daniella Cross at that meeting, "The general public and our con- stituents don't have access to the facts" regarding tuition fee increases. Wliose responsibility is that? One of the goals in the HSF's mission statement is to "promote student partiapation and awareness." Outside of board meetings, the HSF has remained largely silent on the heated issue of tuition. Other local schools like York and the University of Toronto have held large student referen- dums to gage student opinion on tJie issue. Ninety-six per cent of York undergrad- uate students voted in favour of reducing tuition fees, as did 96.4 percent of U of T students. Geoi-ge Brown and Ryerson have votes set for the middle of this month. Students at other schools have been educating themselves and getting mobile about tuition since the beginning of the term. The board asked what could realistically be accomplished by working with the government to determine the future of tuition? "At the end of the day, you have to look at what's on the table and what's not," said HSF President Joey Svec. On Oct. 26, a private member's bill introduced by NDP Education Critic Rosario Marchese passed first reading ITie bill would extend the tuition fee freeze until the next provincial election, and so far has tlie support of NDP and Conservative MPs.

This shows that a freeze is on the table. The question is: Are the HSF and the students of Humber sitting together? Or are we fighting each other rather than letting the government know we support tuition freezes, not increases?
