"No comment needed."
"The tuition increase also is in direct conflict with the desire to promote an education that is more than just doing KAs and getting out as fast as a student can. Let's not compromise the quality of Fielding by creating more economic hardship for its stu"
"If the tuition had been as relatively high when I started Fielding, I would not have been able to attend. You are making my last two years in the program financially draining. And that is on top of having to work for nearly free for two years in practic"
"I respectfully add my name to this petition to voice concern over the tuition increase, which seemed to occur with little student input or solicitation of ideas and thoughts from students in the general population. It was a surprise and poses a financial"
"I agree with the points made. The costs of distance learning mentioned in the appealmust be factored into the overall tuition charged. It can't work both ways. "
"This is particularly hard on Canadian students who already pay a significant penalty as a result of our dollar's realtionship with the US dollar."
"I know this is a complex issue and Fielding finances are in bad shape. However, it is unconscionable that the psychology student body is asked to shoulder this high burden, especially since we have more requirements to complete than other programs and thu"
"I support the protest against the most recent tuition hike."
"no to tuition increase!"
"As a struggling student who is working full time while going to school, the increase in tuition is clearly a severe financial strain on me at this time. In fact, the increase raised the cost of school to almost half of my annual salary. I think that the"
"I agree that considering the many extra costs within the clinical program that the current tuition should be held steady for at least a two year period. "
"We students have to incure an addition $8K in travel expenses and at least another $3K in books. Fielding needs to find another funding source other than their poor students!"
"In addition to the above, I'd like to remind the Board that, during our dissertation stage, our tuition is reduced LESS than is usual for most Psych. PhD programs. This is even though we have less access to our faculty than in traditional programs, where "
"I strongly disagree with the the tuition raise."
"As I near the end of my program I look on my student loan balance and shudder. My education has cost me far more than I anticipated for the reasons stated above."
"I agree with the petition and cannot understand how it is justified. It will cause a hardship for me, since I will not have enough funds available to attend any sessions, and it jeopardizes my ability to purchase books and other materials. Thank you, Yvo"
"I am against the large tuition increase--especially since we will NOT be receiving more services!"
"I agree that the recent 10% tuition increase is unfair and unreasonable. I do however understand the necessity for gradual increases in tuition to cover costs at FGI. Thank you, Janet Phillips "
"With the cost of tuition increasing I am finding it difficult to attend sessions which I find a valuable part of the Fielding educational process. As it is, the 18,500 is just about taken up with tuition and there isn't very much left for anything else. W"
"I am concerned that the Psychology program is being hit with the largest increase and then to hear that services will be reduced."
"Before there is an increase in tuition, I would like to see what that increase would cover. As we all know, our economy is not as robust as it was not too long ago, and as a result many students are in a fiscally compromised position."
"Fielding is losing its advantages to other programs--and it seems bent on alienating students and faculty in the process. Tuition at all schools is increasing--but I thought FGI would be better able to take advantage of technological efficiencies to keep "
"Fielding's tuition is unexceptionally high compared to other higher learning institutions in North America. A raise in tuition may lead to students transferring to more affordable institutions. Profit is important to ensure business success but a caring r"
"The tuition has become unaffordable. My loans are mounting up. There has been an increase every year since I started at Fielding. I do not see a commensurate increase in quality or quantity of services provided to students. Please reconsider. "
"I agree"
