Affordable & Accessible Public Education

>> Increased government funding from the Federal and Provincial governments for our universities and colleges – including creating a legislated minimum increase each year and enough funding to undo the damage done by cuts in the 1990s
>> Legislated regulations on tuition fees – all students, whether Canadian or international, deserve strong protection from increases
>> Ending ancillary fees – they get used by universities to sneak in tuition increases
>> Lift the cap on federal funding for the Post-Secondary Student Support Program, and ensure indigenous students have the support they need to go to university
>> Create a federal Post-Secondary Education Act that leverages adequate federal transfers to the provinces to encourage the gradual reduction in tuition fees

Privatization of Education and Services on Campus

>> End and reverse the gradual privatization of our universities
>> Bring the international student college and the management of caretaking, food, and conference and catering services back under University control

Safety and Security

>> Lift the campus ban on transportation options like chartered buses to get students to and from off-campus social events
>> No cuts to security services at Bannatyne Campus
>> Adequate resources for preventative security measures

Transportation

>> Stop charging for evening parking on campus
>> Keep transit fees affordable and expand Winnipeg Transit’s service
>> Expedite the Rapid Transit project
>> Fund subsidies for a Universal Bus Pass for students to make it an affordable and attractive option for students
>> Return control of Winnipeg Transit fare increases to City Council
