Rejected petition Enforce Universities to refund missed academic activities affected by strikes

Enforce universities to review all academic activities that were missed by industrial action and issue students with an acceptable refund on their tuition fees for the academic activities missed. Also, Universities should be listening to the UCU and settle their demands.

More details

University is expensive and at £9250 minimum a year we would expect high quality education. Universities are failing to provide their staff with adequate pay, working conditions and pensions, which is putting pressure for University staff to strike. Overall, impacting on every university student's education.
