An influential planning committee at Memorial University is recommending a dramatic increase in tuition for Newfoundland and Labrador students, which would end a long-running fee freeze. For the second year in a row, the committee is recommending the tuition fee differential for non-N.L. Canadian students and local students be discontinued, and replaced by a harmonized undergraduate tuition fee for all Canadian students to be implemented in the fall of 2021. MUN is receiving $308 million from the province this year for operations, with another $4 million to maintain the tuition fee freeze for local students. Just over 13 per cent of MUN's operating budget is generated through tuition fees.
