The group, along with the York Federation of Students, filed a notice of application for judicial review asking the Ontario Superior Court to quash the policy directive. The Canadian Federation of Students has launched a court challenge against the Ontario government’s decision to allow college and university students to opt out of certain fees. The student groups allege that the government issued the directive for improper purposes, unfairly targeting student unions, and interfered with the autonomy and independence of schools. “The government claims this will expand student choice and save students money,” she said. “I see the student choice initiative as very consistent with giving more freedom to students,” she said Tuesday.
