University of Regina President Jeff Keshen was recently interviewed by the student newspaper The Carillon about key student issues, including the recent student union turmoil, construction on campus, and tuition increases. Keshen explained the history of the University of Regina Student Union’s financial situation and emphasized that core services—including The Carillon itself—are continuing in the meantime. “I want to underline that all we want as a university is a student association that uses the funds that come from students that they pay, and uses that in a responsible manner,” said Keshen. Keshen also shared that the 4% tuition increase was necessary, but expressed concern about student debt and the impact on the university’s competitiveness.
