Hi, Kabir, Muhammed,
I’m a Chinese student at UNBSJ. We are writing this letter in behalf of all Chinese students at UNBSJ campus.
We read your comments published on February 12th CBC, and we are astonished and upset by your talking on Chinese students. It is hard to believe that the words actually came from a university vice President!
First of all, we do not think your opinions are objective. You have only seen one side of Chinese students. Some of them did buy brand new sport cars. However, the majority still take bus to school.
Second, your words expressed a wrong image to the whole society. People in Saint John would think Chinese students are rich and do not care about their money. There were many broke-ins to Chinese students. We are afraid that your expression will cause more broke-ins. As a whole, the living environment of all Chinese students at UNBSJ, even the local community will be negatively influenced by your inappropriate comments.
Third, you said: “most of the Chinese students on campus are affluent and can afford higher costs”. Isn’t that same as saying that “you have to give me your money because you are rich”? As students, we have our tolerances of taking costs to make our benefits. Have you noted how students are disappointed by the increasing high tuition fees? A simple calculation can show how the international students are affected by the high Canadian dollars.
In August, 2002, 100 Canadian dollars = 522 RMB (Approximate)
In August, 2003, 100 Canadian dollars = 584 RMB (Approximate)
In January, 2004, 100 Canadian dollars = 647 RMB (Approximate)
For example, One Chinese student’s tuition in 2002-2003 academic year (Sep to Apr) was $9068 Canadian dollars. It is equal to ￥47334.96 RMB. One Chinese student’s tuition in 2003-2004 academic year (Sep to Apr) was $9777.00 Canadian dollars. It is equal to ￥63257.19 RMB( at $1CA = ￥6.47 RMB) and ￥57097.68 RMB ( at $1CA=￥5.84 RMB).
According to the example, a Chinese student spend ￥9762.72 RMB to ￥15922.23 RMB more only on tuition expenses.
Fourth, you said “the students in trouble are the ones who didn't properly plan for changes in the currency”. We do not think it really make any sense. We are all students, who are here in the university to learn how to knowledge in order to plan for changes in the currency. We are not economists and even economists didn’t expect Canadian dollars appreciate to this much. If we were able to predict this change, why should we still stay in school spending our money but not go to the Wall Street?!
At the end, we feel your words are not objective and you should not make them to the public as a university vice who is supposed to be responsible to all the students on campus.
We feel sorry and disappointed for your inappropriate comments to the public. We are looking forwards to hearing some explanations from the university.
