University of Ottawa tuition increasing by three per cent - Marie-Danielle Smith, Ottawa Citizen

For the ninth consecutive year, the University of Ottawa’s board of governors has approved a tuition hike for Canadian students. Students will pay three per cent more in fees next year. The increase is part of a $1-billion budget for 2014-15 approved by the board on Monday. The meeting was held Monday in a private room and broadcast over teleconference. “We don’t live in a silo,” says Patrick Charette, a spokesperson for the university. “We have to ultimately balance the books.” Students reacted negatively to the tuition increase, with about 75 people demonstrating on campus and many taking to social media to voice their concerns. http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/university-of-ottawa-tuition-increasing-by-three-per-cent
