Rejected petition Compensate students who paid full fees during the university strikes.

University fees are already extortionate enough being £9000 a year. Thousands of students are going to be graduating with at least £27,000 debt hanging over them just as tuition fees. If we did not receive the tuition for a considerable amount of time, why should we be expected to pay in full?

More details

Strikes began in February and supposedly ended in March. However, in my modernism lecture alone I missed at least 5 weeks due to strikes.

You would never be expected to pay for a service that you did not receive. University tuition is a service, why should this circumstance be treated any differently?
