The latest edition of the Red Square Report. There are currently over 108 student associations representing 150 thousand students on strike in Quebec right now, and that number is growing. They are striking to stop the planned tuition hikes by the Charest provincial government, which will amount to a total hike of $1625. For more information check out the main strike website:
Today, we will hear a report produced by Stefanie Clermont on the Post-Graduate Student's Society strike actions at McGill. One week before the PGSS of McGill University initiates a 3-day strike against tuition increases, graduate students will decorate Thomson House with hundreds of hand-knitted red squares. Representatives from various graduate student groups on campus spoke about upcoming initiatives.
This report was originally aired on Off the Hour on CKUT (march 14, 2012)
