Students can expect to see a proposed ASUS fee increase on their referendum ticket this coming February.
The increase is intended to fund ASUS 130, a package of proposed reforms named in honour of ASUS’ 130th anniversary. The proposals will be voted on by ASUS Assembly if the fee increase passes at referendum in February.
“Arts and Science have grown a lot over the past 5-10 years […] and ASUS needs to grow with it,” David Niddam-Dent, ASUS president, said in an interview with
The Journal.
On the referendum ticket are two fee proposals: a $4.76 increase to the $26.79 mandatory ASUS fee and the establishment of a $2.75 ASUS Orientation fee.
