Ewha Dream, the 37th Student Government Association (SGA), reached an agreement with the school administration to lower the tuition raise from 6.5 percent to 5.5 percent. The SGA also followed up on its election promises by convincing the school to ease the side effects of the tuition hike through various improvements in the school environment.
   However, the Club Association and the student presidents of eight departments were displeased with the SGA's method of leading the negotiation. The president of the Club Association said, "We requested that the SGA extend the term of the negotiations and insisted on a tuition freeze. Yet, the SGA said this was unrealistic and rejected our opinion. Thus, we failed to reach a point where it is more feasible."
   On the other hand, the school administration was positive about the SGA's approach in the negotiations. Kim Young-shim of the Office of Student Affairs said, "The SGA seemed to have reflected the students actual needs in school life. I believe there will be a fruitful outcome to the SGA's efforts."
