Concordia University refunded all students upon receiving official directives from the provincial government concerning the tuition fee rollback while McGill University's international and out-of-province students are still waiting on adjustments to their accounts.
The costs of this year’s student strike movement is the centre of attention yet again as the l'Université du Québec à Montréal claims the protests associated with the university amounted to $20 million and the provincial government estimates that overall costs for all post-secondary institutions are at $40 million and counting.
The first week of classes at universities which suspended their winter semesters due to the student strike movement saw clashes between protesters in opposition of the tuition fee increase and Law 12 with administration, security, and Montreal Police.
