This was obviously created as a loophole to stop any repayments. Students who will be in £60k+ of debt aren't getting the courses they were promised. These are students who are going to bring the UK out of the recession in the years to come, help us to help you.","committee_note":"","state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2021-01-04T15:35:13.842Z","updated_at":"2021-01-08T15:14:39.300Z","rejected_at":"2021-01-08T15:14:39.303Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2021-01-04T15:42:27.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You might like to sign the following petitions:\r\n\r\nRequire universities to partially refund tuition fees for 20/21 due to Covid-19\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/324762\r\n\r\nLower university tuition fees for students until online teaching ends\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552911\r\n\r\nGovernment subsidise this year's university tuition fees\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552814"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
