@10DowningStreet Students have been ignored and exploited this year, paying full fees for a lessened experience.
The government must step in and give students the compensation they deserve.

The Students' Union is working with QMUL and Nia (East London Rape Crisis) to consult with student survivors. If you have experience of reporting, making a disclosure or accessing support, we’d like to hear from you. Learn more at https://t.co/e6cTiQL1Fa
So what are you responsible for?? Again, the government has had no consideration for students in HE and has oversimplified the entire thing. Students deserve better from this government!
STUDENT MESSAGE 1: Universities are responsible for their own fees but the Government has been VERY clear if universities want to continue charging the full fees, they are expected to maintain the quality, quantity and accessibility of tuition.
We have collectively responded to the Russell Group statement and will be working to ensure that students are not disadvantaged, both as a group of Russell Group Students' Unions but also within our own institutions!

Today myself and other officers from across the Russell Group wrote to them to express our concerns over the No Detriment Policy statement they released week. We will keep fighting to ensure that students are treated fairly and we look forward to their reply #ForgottenStudents
This message is addressed to all students @QMUL and @officialblsa regarding the no-detriment policy and our pledge to support it. https://t.co/Cm7dqWN8c4.
