[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Students have been forced to pay an estimated £1 billion this year for accommodation they aren't able to use.

That's such blatant exploitation.

It's time universities & the government heeded @RentStrikeNow's demands: Refund rents & offer contract releases. Now.

[UoB Rent Strike @Rentstrikebtn]

An offer of a minor rent reduction which excludes the most vulnerable is an insult, not a kindness!

All students deserve reduced rent.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Thank U, Next 👋

[UoB Rent Strike @Rentstrikebtn]

Is it any surprise that a chancellor earning a house worth of wages every year can't see the importance of affordable rents?

Reduced rents for all students now!

[UoB Rent Strike @Rentstrikebtn]

The university is quick to tell us that they care for our mental health, yet they still enforce financial pressures during a pandemic.

Mindfulness won't pay our extortionate rents.

[Brighton Student Solidarity Group @StuSolBrighton]

Students demand an end to the redundancies! 👩‍🔧👨‍🔧👩‍🎓👨‍🎓
If @uniofbrighton was concerned with the student experience they’d resolve the dispute!

Solidarity to @BrightonUCU #SaveBrightonITStaff #StudentsDeserveBetter #StopTheCuts #Brighton

[UoB Rent Strike @Rentstrikebtn]

We stand with @BrightonUCU in saying that firing IT staff would be nothing but harmful.

Students need IT support just as much as staff do, now more than ever!

When students are treated badly, resistance shouldn't be a surprise!

[Liberate the University 🟥 @Liberatetheuni]

The student movement is growing and so are we! Help us expand so that we can channel the incredible rent strike momentum into a broader, radical movement against tuition fees and towards a vision of free, democratised education. Pls RT!

Meanwhile, our students are fighting against the injust university system that monetises their presence on campus. #RentStrikeNow Sign the petition to show your support https://t.co/IrNc0M2njK #StudentsDeserveBetter #UniStudentsDeserveBetter

[Young Greens 🌱 @YoungGreenParty]

This group of Vice Chancellors reckon suspending interest on student loans would ease the pressure on students through the crisis. 🙄

👎 What an insult.

We need:
🟢 A complete write-off of student debt
🟢 Living grants for all
🟢 And free education now!

Strongly worded letters won't make us pay, we want democratic negotiations.

Students deserve a voice!

[UoB Rent Strike @Rentstrikebtn]

@BrightonUCU @uniofbrighton @barenakedladies We'd spend £1.5mil to make student accommodation affordable.

[UoB Rent Strike @Rentstrikebtn]

Students let down throughout the pandemic, poor support for self-isolation and mental health, staff cuts, high rents, and paying for rooms that have had more use as storage lockers.

We shouldn't accept being treated like this:
RENT STRIKE NOW!
#UniStudentsDeserveBetter

[Brighton UCU @BrightonUCU]

Standing side by side with our students. The HE system is broken. Let's fix it #UniStudentsDeserveBetter #SaveBrightonITStaff #StudentsDeserveBetter

[UoB Rent Strike @Rentstrikebtn]

Charging rent for empty halls, or the 'privilege' of being trapped in them is exploitation.

The way students are being treated is unacceptable.

COVID-19 has affected all of us. But while there’s guidance for most, uni students have been ignored.
