Student Groups Upset Over New University Fees

The University of New Brunswick Student Union says UNB is taking advantage of a loophole in order to get more money out of students.

Union President Shannon Carmont-McKinley tells CHSJ News UNB wants to charge students extra fees in order to sidestep the $200 dollar tuition increase cap set down in the provincial budget.

She says multiple fees are under consideration and the one that is most likely to go forward is service-related that will charge all students a chunk of money to attend the school. She says the fees could add up to as much $200 or $300 dollars.
