Students at CEGEP vote to continue boycott

Students at CEGEP St. Laurent have voted to continue their 6 month boycott of classes against proposed tuition hikes.

In a report by CBC News, the vote is contingent on 20 000 students from other CEGEPS and universities joining them.

The margin separating both sides was by only 18 votes. Over 500 students who attend the CEGEP voted.

Student associations have been voting over the past week on whether or not to end the boycott they began last February.

Some student associations at 3 universities voted to continue the boycott. However, all 3 CEGEP associations that voted last week wanted to go back to class. More votes are expected in the coming days.
