Hi, Kabir, Muhammed,

I’m a Student in UNBSJ and I come from China. I read your words on CBC and your talking really made my friends and I up sad.
I can’t believe those words came from our president.
First of all, I don’t think your opinions are objective. You only see one side of Chinese students. Some of them did buy brand new sports cars. However, the majority still take bus to school.
Second, your words expressed a wrong image to the whole society. It will have a huge impact on Chinese students. People in Saint John will think all Chinese students are rich and don’t care about their money. There were many broke-ins among Chinese students. I’m afraid that it will cause more broke-ins happen. As students, we need safe living environment.
Third, you said: “most of the Chinese students on campus are affluent and can afford higher costs”. I want to ask you some questions. Have you ever thought from student side? Have you talked to a Chinese student about his or her opinion? Have you noted that the tuition is high and students are disappointed?
I want to give you a simple calculation and it will approve high Canadian dollars do affect Chinese Students.
In August, 2002, 100 Canadian dollars = 522 RMB (Approximate)
In Augest, 2003, 100 Canadian dollars = 584 RMB (Approximate)
In January, 2004, 100 Canadian dollars = 647 RMB (Approximate)
For example, One Chinese student’s tuition in 2002-2003 academic year( Sep to Apr) was $9068 Canadian dollars. It equalled ￥47334.96 RMB. One Chinese student’s tuition in 2003-2004 academic year (Sep to Apr) was $9777.00 Canadian dollars. It equalled ￥63257.19 RMB( at $1CA = ￥6.47 RMB) and ￥57097.68 RMB ( at $1CA=￥5.84 RMB).
According to the example, a Chinese student spend ￥9762.72 RMB to ￥15922.23 RMB more only on tuition expense.
Fourth, you said: “the students in trouble are the ones who didn't properly plan for changes in the currency”. I think it really doesn’t make sense. First of all, we are student. We are in the University to learn how to knowledge in order to plan for changes in the currency. We are not economist and even economist didn’t expect Canadian dollars appreciate to this much. There is a Chinese student whose GPA is 4.1 and he will say the same thing as other Chinese students says. We say “the U.S. dollar is going up so let's exchange some U.S. dollars for Canadian dollars”.
At the end, I think your words are not objective and you shouldn’t say to the public with your subjective opinion as Vice president in the university.
Your words really made all Chinese students disappointed. I hope you can apologize to all Chinese students.



A Chinese student in UNBSJ


我周一下午就把这个和青青的信贴到TIMS那的墙上，请过路的同学去签名。还有哪位同学发了的，请把你的信给也发给我。我们好反映群众的签名。

可以copy你的信吗？ 嘻嘻

可以啊。加点你自己的意见就更好了。

事关我们中国留学生的利益，望大家相互转告，支持！是显示我们凝聚力的时候了！！

是的，就是那个阿三校长。 我那天听新闻时，就是听的那种谈舌头的英文。。。

我也签！！！！

阿三就会眼红! 劣根性呀!

妈的 学校工作中东几乎全包了也就算了
这阿三还要犯贱
看来大脑构造是不大一样
这种阿三的脑子装不了什么好东西
这么多的教育给他也只是吃进糟粕吐出精华

总之，如果那位校长不出来说出个地点时间公众道歉，这事没完。。

一个校长对媒体说出这样的话，是对所有中国留学生的侮辱，他要道歉的不光光是在sj的中国学生，而是全体中国留学生。

建议学生会
一方面联合中国学生，其次可以考虑把中国学生的这种反映，给当地的媒体。

是的。

本人几天前就已经在谈天说地发了关于UNBS乱收费的帖子。

本人也签。

支持，我签！

一个字：签！

请告知签名的具体时间,到时候一定支持!太气愤了

星期1 在tim's走廊的广告版就可以签，到时候一定要去啊！

CSSA争取在11点前把联合签名的公告板贴在TIMS（小食堂）。请大家到时候过去。

一定会去，老外就怕中国人团结。

下了课马上跑去签

支持支持！！！！！！

支持！

本来星期一不打算来上课的
看来得跑一趟了
大家团结
让那阿三吓死!让他以后就是多放p也不敢多p话了!

苍风君，我们还是要明确一下我们的目的，是让他道歉就完了，还是要实际地让UNBSJ减少我们的学费。我想如果就是让他道歉，他今天到了歉，明天变本加厉地涨价，或者哪天又冒出个阿二，阿大来有胡说一番，然后我们又让他们道歉，他们又照样涨钱，那我们要他们道歉有什么实质的效果呢？
我想根本问题就是要扼制住现在校方疯涨钱的势头，道歉重要，实质性的减价更重要。

对呀，一句话谁不会说，不说对不起能把学费降了也算道歉

这次学生会的目的就是要DR。KABIR向全体中国学生道歉，并在媒体上纠正自己的观点。

我觉得，这个时候不应该这么激进。一事归一事。学费问题，是整个加拿大大学的，不是说UNB一所。有些事情，不是你我的力量可以办到的。

学费的问题牵涉到很多方面。不可能在短时间内解决，也不可能靠我们去解决。学校的SRC对这件事情有着义不容辞的责任。在这件采访事件解决后，我们会找SRC去谈学费的问题。因为，对与加拿大人来说，他们的学费还没有涨到他们不可忍受的地步。

做为国际学生而言，我们的势力还是单薄了点。很简单的例子，国际学生在中国北京，去年的贡献是10亿。中国也是这么对带国际学生的，收双倍的学费。

学费的政策是政府行为，不是单独的中国学生，或者国际学生团体能解决的。

坚决支持.
