Hundereds of University of Alberta students gathered in front of the University Administration building this afternoon to protest the lack of consultation that occured before the U of A administration announced it will no longer accept credit cards as a method of payment for tuition fees.
With an average of 18,000 University of Alberta students using credit cards to pay their tuition and fees, a group of students have begun the “Dare to Deceive” campaign protesting the lack of consultation (“Dare to Deceive” is a play on the University’s “Dare to Deliver” document which, if you believe the U of A administration, is the best thing since sliced bread).
Not surprisingly, you can still use your credit card to donate to the University in honour of its centenary year.
