Create legislation so Universities reimburse those affected by UCU action

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Strike action began today across 65 UK universities. The strikes occur over a month: 22-23, 26-28 February; 5-8, 12-16 March and will affect 1 million students. Many students will lose contact hours which they have paid £9250 and it is only fair that they are reimbursed.

Why it was rejected

Make it law that university students get a refund for cancelled lectures
