New student fees

[BrokeStudent]

I recenty went on to register for new classes and was baffled to see that I had additional student fees to pay. An addition $64 dollars worth. To my understanding there was a referendum to pass this vote. What I would like to know is do you justify the total votes of 494 students as a representative population of Kwantlen's 14000 students. Is there no minimum participation clause in you laws that state a minimum number of people must vote to pass laws.

My other beef is with the implementation of the U-pass. I am sorry, but I drive to school. I do not appreciate hearing that I will have to start paying another $100 to get the u-pass that I will never use. If you are going to bring this in you need to make it optional for those who have not use for it.

I apologize - as a fine arts student, I have no finals but all my assignments / course projects have been due over the past week, with a few more due Monday. I haven't forgotten about it!

This is becoming ridiculous. If you are unable to provide an appropriate answer within a months time, what reasoning do you have to raise your student fees. The votes past do not represent the voice of kwantlen, and apparently the KSA has no us for the students opinion as I am sick of waiting for an answer.
