The Student Council of the University of Iceland has filed a motion of no confidence against the rector due to a proposed increase in the registration fee.
The Student Council at the University of Iceland is taking a stand against a proposed increase in the registration fee, which has not changed in twelve years. The fee is set to rise from 75,000 ISK to 100,000 ISK, marking a significant one-third increase. This decision has caused discontent among members of the student movement called Vaka, who hold a majority on the council and believe such a hike is unjustified at this time. They have thus submitted a motion of no confidence against the rector, Silja Bára Ómarsdóttir, stating that it is crucial to have a clear explanation of how the increased fee would be utilized.
