Require Universities to fully refund tuition fees for 2020/21 due to Covid-19.

What the petition asks
The Government should require Universities to fully refund student tuition fees for 2020/21.
Despite the relentless hard work of teaching staff, online lectures are inferior to in-person teaching and without access to libraries and resources, students are not receiving the education they deserve. Thanks to changes in government regulations, students are now paying rent on the property they can't legally occupy and refunding tuition fees is the first step in acknowledging the disadvantage current University students face and limiting the impact this has on their futures.
