ASFA declares student strike November 10

Concordia's Arts and Science Federation of Associations passes a motion to strike Novemeber 10th.

The strike will allow students to join in province-wide protests against tuition hikes.

The meeting had a shaky start in which GSA and CSU implored students to invite more people to register so they could reach quorum.

Reaching the quorum of 400 undergrad and 60 graduate students made the meeting official.

This allowed them to pass the resolution requesting students be exempted from academic obligations next Thursday.

Organizers repeatedly stressed the effects tuition hikes will have on the future of accessible education.

Premier Jean Charest's decision to raise Quebec student tuition by nearly 75% has drawn the ire of many students in the province.

Schools from across Montreal will be holding a joint protest on the 10th at Place Emilie-Gamelin.
