...good governance, transparency, and accountability. Upholding these high standards is the norm, and is essential to maintaining the trust that students place in their elected representatives. #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli END/

BC student societies are regulated by the Societies Act, and are accountable to their members + the public thru the Act. BC students expect their student societies to demonstrate high standards of ethical conduct, fiscal responsibility... (cont'd) #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli 3/

The Alliance of BC Students welcomes the announcement that the Ministry of Finance has initiated an investigation into the Kwantlen Student Association (KSA) under a special provision of the Societies Act. #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli 1/

BC students are demanding the government commit to public funding, NOT cuts or tuition increases for already struggling students. For our statement and media coverage about the press conference, click the link in our bio. #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli #bcpostsecreview END/

BC students have been clear: Four months is NOT enough time for to review an entire sector. The 2% limit on tuition increases MUST stay in place. And cuts and mergers ARE NOT the solution to decades of government underfunding. #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli #bcpostsecreview 2/

International students will continue to be exploited & struggle w/ high fees if the govt doesn’t: 1) properly fund post-sec institutions 2) Cap their tuition increases to 2%/year (same as domestic students) 7/ #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli #internationalstudents #cdnpoli #cdnpse

BC students support efforts to protect international students, renew call for government to fix root causes of exploitation. 1/ #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli #internationalstudents #cdnpoli #cdnpse
