I'm a Trent @ UOIT student, and, like many of you, am outraged and the 100 dollar fee we all must pay for the U-pass. When this item was discussed and voted upon, we were told that those who purchased parking passes would be refunded the 100 dollar U-pass fee. This made the vote very simple, as there really was no reason to vote against it.
Now, in a rather harsh statement, the Student Association proclaims that there was never such a rebate, only a one-time 'gift' of the 100 dollars returned to those who purchased a (500 dollar) parking pass.
I have the poster that hung on the walls of our school, which clearly states those who purchase parking passes would be rebated the U-pass cost. There is no mention of this being a one-time deal. I encourage you to sign, if you want the Student Association to live up to their promise, and give our 100 dollars back.
I never imagined this would reach so many people but it is clear that I am not the only one feeling misled by the Student Association. Seeing all of your comments makes it obvious that the promise on that poster was seen by many of us who are now being ignored. This is entirely because of your support since you were the ones who stepped up to hold them accountable.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you stepped up to keep our student association accountable. This movement is growing entirely because of your conviction and not because of anything I did on my own.

This is total garbage. They bait and switched everyone and now they want to act like we cant read the flyers they put up everywhere. Give us our money back.

Just another way to take more money from students who are already broke. $100 is a lot when you are paying for tuition and parking too.
