Reduce tuition fees for students not receiving access to facilities paid for
Reduce our tuition fees because we will not be receiving the same quality of teaching as we expected when applying.
Even if lectures are online, it is unlikely that we will receive the same quality of teaching, nor the access to facilities like libraries, discussion in groups, or even just the university experience. Questions from professors will not be answered as quickly, if at all because emails can get lost. Therefore, it is unfair that we should pay the same amount.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Suspending or reducing tuition fees is a matter for individual universities, and not the Government or House of Commons.
