This will still leave them with the lowest priced tutiton in Canada.
Its interesting that the CBC was reporting yesterday that the professional programs (engineering, Buisness, Medicine etc) have had very little participation in the strike whereas in the general arts programs and social sciences have had significant partcicipation. And that it is around 33% of the students that are striking while 66% suffer through the disruptions.
To this seems like those students with a plan for what they are doing after graduation realize the strike is stupid. Those just going for educations sake or for the experience (ie: People we should not be subsidizing) are the ones striking.
Note: I am not saying that all people in social sciences or Arts are just going for educations sake. I am saying more people in these programs do not have direction and are going for the expericene or waiting to make up their minds. The ones that have a plan after university are the ones still in class.
