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.

When I was in school years ago probably the only thing every student I know of complained about was the mandatory fees for the crap they never used. Reason being is you are already paying a ton for schooling period, you shouldn't have to pay for these clubs/things that only a select few enjoy and take part in.
