The results of the online U-Pass votes have been tabulated, revealing that 71% of students are not in favour of mandatory increased tuition in exchange for a bus pass.
The official statement from Memorial reads as follows:
“University administration will recommend that the Board of Regents not proceed with a U-Pass program for Memorial University and will bring this forward for conclusion at the March Board of Regents’ meeting”.
A statement provided on Memorial’s official website.
With such an overwhelming response from the student body, it is highly unlikely that the Board of Regents will approve of the idea.
