Students protest Quebec's Young Liberals vote for tuition hikes

Around 15 Concordia Student Union members joined hundreds of students in protest of the support of tuition hikes by the Quebec young Liberals.

The Liberal youth party met in Lenoxville this weekend, where they agreed to the Charest government's plan to increase tuition from the current $2,200 to $3,800 a year. The president of the Quebec young Liberals said the hike is a way to maintain accessibility to post-secondary education, while "maintaining the qualities of our universities." 

Students protested outside the meeting with signs that read "Hey Ho, tuition hikes must go" and "La CJPLQ trahit la jeunesse."
