A meeting of the University of Auckland’s student represent council reportedly voted in favour of calling on the University to grandparent its international fees, Scoop reports. Grandparent means to cap fees.

“The University of Auckland claims it ‘grandparents’ its fees by ‘capping’ fee rises at 5%. This is disingenuous to call it grandparenting because it means continuous fee rises during the normal course of a degree,” says Bethanie Maples, AUSA Acting President.
