A University of Calgary student paid his tuition with more than 90 kilograms of nickels and dimes Monday, protesting the university's recent decision to stop accepting credit card payments.
Undergraduate political science student Teale Phelps Bondaroff told CBC News that he paid his spring session tuition in nickels and dimes because "the government and the university are nickel-and-diming students."
Phelps Bondaroff said his $1,037 tuition payment, to cover two classes, weighed more than 90 kilograms and was toted to the finance office in a wheelbarrow using "brute strength and determination." He said the weight nearly broke the wheelbarrow.
