Breaking News: Tuition Expected to Go Up As Expected

Next year’s budget is working its way through the committees of the Governing Council, having gone from the Planning and Budget Committee to the Academic Board and to the Business Board, which has also set out a  recommended tuition schedule for 2014-15.

The budget and the tuition schedule will go to the Executive Committee on March 27, 2014, and then on to the Governing Council for approval on April 8, 2014.

For JD students, the recommendation is to increase tuition by the maximum allowed by the Ontario government. That is 4% for JD students who started in 2012-13 or earlier, and 5% for students starting after that. If this is  approved, next year’s 1Ls and 2Ls will both pay $30 230 in tuition, and 3Ls will pay $29 650.

The Governing Council is composed of 50 appointed or elected administrators, staff, professors, students, and alumni. From the Faculty of Law, Alexis Archbold and Edward Iacobucci currently sit as voting members of the  Governing Council. No law student currently sits on the Governing Council, but Padraigin Murphy (1L) has been elected for the 2014-15 term. The details of the policies, procedures, and reports for the Governing Council and its  boards and committees can be found at www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca.
