Same with UofA, where I go. It was in our school paper last week with a funny cartoon caption of some student saying he'd like to pay his student loans while holding two huge, overflowing bags of coins. I always pay with credit card too, it's crazy.
Apparently the school board is claiming that the extra money they'll make with the switch will go back into the university, but the Student Union says they have no idea how that would be possible, and refuse to back it. From the sounds of it, this is becoming a trend for universities across North America, and the UofC and UofA are just jumping on board.
