UB Defers Tuition Fee Hike

The decision follows pressure from the university’s Student Representative Council (SRC) president Carter Joseph, who had complained that the decision is punitive on the students as it comes at a time during a difficult economic climate arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The SRC president had also argued that the decision to increase tuition fees was announced on short notice when the self-sponsored students had already raised their tuition fees based on the old rates.
