Student plaintiff talks about college class action lawsuit
June 11, 2007
“At least if students in the future don’t have to pay these fees – and are not lied to – then rock on,” says Amanda Hassum, one of two Ontario students who have filed a class action lawsuit against the province’s community colleges. Hassum is currently a Conestoga College advertising student. The second representative plaintiff is Dan Roffey, a student at George Brown College in Toronto. Both feel they represent thousands of students hit with rising ancillary fees, such as a $210 “information technology” fee that Hassum received, despite tuition regulation. The Cambridge Times
