Reimburse or give students discount on their tuition fees
I'm asking the University to consider giving students a discount or partial reimbursement on their fees for 2020.
Most of the UK population and workforce have been given some kind of financial help but as students, most of us are not entitled to benefits or haven't been given advice on where we can go for financial help.
A lot of students work in the hospitality and service industry and are currently not working at this time. For most of us, our next student loan instalment will need to last a lot longer given that we don't know how long this situation will last.
For those of us graduating this year, the job market is also looking very uncertain, putting extra pressure on students financially.
Many of us now don't have access to University facilities and are accessing materials online. Online courses are generally cheaper, and although it is no fault of the University, it isn't our fault as students either.

Why is this important?
It is important because we are also in need of financial help during this crisis.
