One component of the UCP platform I really don't like is allowing College students to opt out of Student Associations (and fees). This could cripple campus radio, tv and newspapers, that rely on the student levys for funding. These media are important in the community for airing alternative voices. Volunteers at these outlets gain excellent experience that can lead to great job opportunities.

Ford has done something similar in Ontario, and it is a big existential threat to these stations and newspapers.
