Require universities to reimburse students 1/3 of their tuition fees

Closed 46 signatures

What the petition asks

All universities are primarily or solely using online teaching because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, meaning we do not have access to facilities or support from our universities. Therefore, 1/3 of our tuition should be reimbursed for the academic year 2020-2021.
Whilst students understand why it is necessary to have teaching be online, many of us feel we are not receiving the standard of education, support or access to facilities that we are paying for. We know that universities are trying their best in these trying times, hence why we are only requesting 1/3 of our tuition be refunded. It is unfair we are expected to pay full price without receiving a full education.
