U of L students deserve to be educated for the tuition they have paid

By Lethbridge Herald on March 4, 2022.

I understand why the University of Lethbridge teachers are on strike, but here’s my question as a parent from one of their students: my son paid a heavy tuition fee to attend U of L and now because of the strike he is going to be one semester behind on graduating. I would like to know who’s going to reimburse him for his tuition for the semester and textbooks and why he is going to pay interest on a student loan that went to waste this year and who is going to pay for the extra semester? 

Haven’t our students been through enough with online learning, COVID-19 etc.? My sons missed out on their 18th birthdays, high school graduation and their first two years of university was online and now this? If I were a student, I would go down to the picket lines with my books and say “I paid for an education, educate me!”
