#UVic plans to increase #StudentHousing prices by 10% in September, even as student complaints of #RisingCosts & inaccessibility of #CampusHousing go viral on #SocialMedia .
The proposed 10% increase to campus housing & #FoodPrices is a rate well above the allowed 2% increase for ongoing #RentalLeases governed by the #BCTenancyAct & average 6% #MenuInflation currently seen at restaurants. This is the highest percentage increases by BC #universities for upcoming school .
