Never-ending raises:<\/b> The story \u201cCollege discusses tuition increases\u201d in our February 20, 1995 issue talked about how Camosun was in discussions about increasing tuition for the fall 1995 semester. This was following a 7.75-percent tuition raise in 1994. Then-chair of the Camosun College Student Society Sara Kemp said in the story, \u201cHow do they expect students to survive? They are already using the soup kitchen and food bank on a regular basis.\u201d Sadly, tuition raises remain at the forefront of student concerns here in 2020; thankfully, there are still resources like food banks and soup kitchens to help out.<\/p>\n

Never-ending raises for international students, too:<\/b> The story \u201cProposed tuition fee increase forces international students to reconsider college choices\u201d reported the same issue we did in our recent two-part story looking at concerns of international students today: they have to pay a lot of tuition.

I mean, it\u2019s a fair question, after all. Among the answers was that nipples are an erogenous zone, there to encourage hugging. Aww.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
