The Question

Do you agree to raise the Quebec Public Interest Research Group (QPIRG) at Concordia’s fee levy to $0.31 per credit, thereby continuing to support the increased demand for the services of QPIRG, the birthplace of the People's Potato, Sustainable Concordia Project, le Frigo Vert and Right to Move, home to 15 active working groups, and the provider of valuable student resources and programming. This increase would represent a $0.01 increase for Arts & Science, Fine Arts and Independent students, a $0.11 increase for Engineering and Computer Science Students, and $0.31 for John Molson School of Business students, thereby equalizing the levy paid by ALL undergrad students. The fee would continue to be fully refundable and collected in accordance with the university tuition billing and refund policy, starting September 2007.
