High tuition fees have discriminatory and detrimental impacts on students. In Ontario, students are faced with one of the highest tuition fees in the country and the financial burden that accompanies them which leaves many students with huge amounts of debt for decades. Moreover, International students makeup 20 percent of our campus and come from various places around the world and pay 5x more in tuition fees compared to domestic students, which can cause great financial strain on students and their families.
Considering these realities, the UTMSU has launched the Education for All and Fairness for International Students campaign to lobby the University of Toronto and all levels of government to make post-secondary education free and accessible for all.
This survey will aid the campaign by collecting data on students realities at UofT. We aim to continue conversations with UofT governance and decision-makers, supported by statistics and data in our lobby document.
