‘Word 6n The Stree

For Developmental Studies students that did not graduate high school, all fees for the year are
significantly reduced. Do you think this is fair and why or why not?

“No | don’t really think its fair, we’re all in the same boat here as far as learning,
that shouldn’t have anything to do with it costing specific people less.”

Scott
Criminology

“I'd say its fair because they aren’t at the same level. We don’t personally pay for
high school, that’s where they are still. If you don’t give certain people breaks here
and there, how will they ever get anywhere?”

 

Brenden
Sciences
“No way. We should all pay the same man.”

Ayana Manson

DVST

“In a way | do think it’s fair, because basically you’re getting a high school educa-
tion, just at a college. For those of us that did graduate though it’s like fuck man,
that was a waste of time.”

 

Jordon Kirk
DVST
“I think DVST is a great program for people who haven’t graduated. The govern-

ment shouldn’t make it cost us more. It’s a stepping stone to a brighter
future.”

 

Alissa Desbeins

Advanced English

“I think everyone should pay the same lower cost. To give someone the monetary
advantage because they didn’t graduate is silly. Graduates put in the effort

and time and get dinged more. That makes no sense at all.
