Compensation for university students due to covid-19

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like some kind of compensation for paying full tuition fees and no access to any of the university’s facilities. Many students are struggling financially because they can’t pay their rent, etc. We have been told that classes may resume etc. It’s been just very stressful.
Many strongly believe we’ve been neglected during this pandemic and it’s been incredibly frustrating. All our lectures have been online and yet we continue to pay full tuition fees and zero access to any of the university’s facilities or union.
