Agreed!!! WORK to pay off your own student fees! Don’t protest to get other citizens to pay it off for you.

You said it Nick and I couldn’t agree more. I would love to see this in the Ottawa newspapers.

I really like your article, Nick and I am definitely a skeptic of the SFUO’s association with the CFS and their support of the Drop Fees movement. I also agree that the money spent on supporting this campaign would be much better spent on awards and grants for students in need and students with exceptional academic merit. However, at the end of your article you mention that you are indeed not protesting the lowering of tuition fees (which honestly is something I was under the impression would be part of the counter-campaign). I was wondering if you could elaborate on this as lowering tuition fees make very little economic sense and doing so would only raise competition for a finite number of jobs awaiting students after graduation.
