Found 7 dead birds today next to bus stop #3146. @CWHCRCSF says they likely fly into the glass and die. Can @GRT_ROW and @RegionWaterloo do something with the bus stop so the birds don't kill themselves? The internet has lots of suggestions https://t.co/iwfaIIyWj6

No changes to masters minimum funding.

[Dmitry @DmitriiMarin]

The Council of the @GSA_UWaterloo just had a robust discussion on the new rates of the graduate student minimum funding. Tuition, international tuition, cost of living and inflation were in the focus.

[Dmitry @DmitriiMarin]

UW continues poviding the same increase for both for international and domestic students despite drastic difference in cost of living change. According to UW, the new rates for phd will result in some increase for domestic and decrease for international students in real prices.
