Require Universities to refund students during strike action

Closed 696 signatures

What the petition asks

Staff at 150 universities joined the strike that happened on 24, 25 and 30 November, which is affecting students' everyday learning, e.g. some lectures and seminars are cancelled so students have to go through materials themselves, which is not fair for students.
Although lectures and seminars have been cancelled, students still have to pay tuition fees in full. Universities should be required to refund part of a student's tuition fees, where their course is affected by strike action.
