Rejected petition Demand universities to refund fees for classes annuled during UCU pension strike

We have a total of 10 days of strike during February and March. We have paid fees for these days where there should've been classes. It is not fair for the university to charge fees for those days. Collectively, it is a lot of money considering the number of students enrolled and effected.

More details

The lectures being cancelled, are also not being re scheduled for any other day.

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.

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