Fees Rise

As predicted, UWA increases fees by 25% despite student protests.

I guess they should consider themselves lucky they are not in this guy's position.

A NEW YORK University second-year student who says he spent eight months sleeping in a library basement because he couldn't afford campus housing has been moved to a free dormitory room, school officials said.

Steve Stanzak, 20, said he began spending six hours a night in the sub-basement of Bobst Library at the beginning of the academic year after he was unable to pay a $US1000 ($1365) housing deposit. He slept on four library chairs and carried vital belongings - a laptop computer, books, clothes - in his backpack. He kept other items, like books and clothing, in storage lockers.


Is this the future of our higher education? I doubt it. The Reid Library doesn't even has a sub-basement.
