U of A students storm president's office to protest budget cuts and cost hikes - Ameya Charnalia, Toronto Metro
Dozens of University of Alberta students swarmed the hallway outside President David Turpin’s office Wednesday to protest recent budget cuts and fee hikes made by the university. Students followed Turpin to his office after a campus forum, during which he was asked repeatedly about university administration's decision to increase student fees and slash the overall budget by four per cent. “At the forum many students asked intelligent, thoughtful questions and they were met with unsatisfactory responses,” said Marina Banister, president of the University of Alberta Students’ Union.
