Camosun College students pay $1.11 per month to be members of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). But what help or benefits are Camosun students getting from the CFS at this point?<\/p>\n

I think Camosun College students should leave the organization.<\/p>\n

First of all, money should be used for more important things. If the Camosun College Student Society could use the money for something else, it would be a big help for the school and students.<\/p>\n

CFS-BC motions to start the process of separating from the national CFS; should the Camosun College Student Society do the same? (File photo.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although $1.11 is not too much, if money cannot be used effectively, I do not want to pay one cent. After paying the fee, I don\u2019t feel I get any benefits from being a member of the CFS, so what\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n

After I pay tuition fees, I can study and gain more knowledge; I don\u2019t know what paying into the CFS does for me.<\/p>\n

Camosun students also pay $1.11 per month to be members of the British Columbia Federation of Students, so even if we left the CFS, we would still not be alone.<\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s worth noting that the CFS is not the only national student organization in Canada, so if Camosun College students left CFS, they could still have the option to join a different national student group.<\/p>\n

Even if they don\u2019t, I still think Camosun students should leave the organization. If nothing else, at least they\u2019ll save $1.11 every month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
