Apparently Concordia has backtracked from its plan to begin charging students for access to its wireless network. The decision apparently came right from the top, which is a much-needed PR boost for president Claude Lajeunesse (though why he had to wait for student outrage to decide that wireless access is an “essential service” is beyond me).

So students will save a few bucks each year, which they will no doubt be giving to their student union so they can continue needlessly suing other student unions over petty student politics.
