Stop or Reduce the Increase in Tuition Fees at the University of Lincoln
This petition is for the University of Lincoln to stop or reduce their increase in tuition fees to 9,250 pound for the 2017/18 academic year.
Why is this important?
Tuition Fees have already been trebled in the last 10 years, does the University really need to increase them even further. This, albeit smaller increase, seems to represent a trend of fees just increasing again and again.
The increase of 250 pounds is a 2.8% rise that is supposedly in line with inflation. The Bank of England has predicted inflation to be 2.1% in 2017. So where has the 2.8% figure come from.
If the University does not stop with this increase, I think students at least deserve a more in depth explanation as to why this increase is happening and greater transparency in where funding is going.
