Rejected petition Reimburse Uni student tuition fees for the duration lecturers go on strike

More than 1 million students in 65 universities across the UK will be affected by industrial action by members of the University and College Union (UCU), which begins on Thursday with 14 days of strikes spread over 4 weeks.

Students should be reimbursed their tuition fees for learning time lost.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The decision to refund student tuition fees would be responsibility of universities, rather than the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition asking the Government to make it law for universities to issue refunds when students don't receive lessons as a result of strikes.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
