The government should ensure universities are accountable, preventing students from being unfairly burdened with loan repayments.","additional_details":"The parliament must demand accountability from all universities. When the institutions misclassified courses as \"full-time,\" the students faced unexpected debt burdens. The government intervention should ensure universities bear responsibility for their errors, not the students. This protects students from financial hardship, maintains educational integrity, and fosters trust in higher education. It's about fairness and preventing exploitation.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2026-04-14T20:10:13.325Z","updated_at":"2026-05-14T13:53:24.899Z","rejected_at":"2026-05-14T13:53:15.664Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-14T20:17:30.000Z","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,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petition:\r\n\r\nHonour maintenance loans and childcare grants for existing weekend students\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/762730"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
