radio@upei: Let the Student Voice be Heard: Counterstrike Campaign

Considering the current situation at our university, the UPEI Student Union feels that it is time for students to start voicing their concerns. Talks have broken off between the UPEI Faculty Association and the UPEI administration and no more are scheduled. If talks do not resume and a settlement is not reached soon, our academic term may be in jeopardy.
Whatever compensation is eventually agreed upon can come from one of two sources; government funding, or increased tuition. We feel the provincial government is equally accountable for the current situation, as funding levels are 20% below what they were in the 1980’s.

Our voices need to be heard by all three.
