[Greater Glasgow Student Tenants Union @theGGSTU]

Another example of accommodation providers clearly exploiting students, this is happening all across the country.
We should be receiving rebates, not additional fees, how is this ok?

[USSTU @USSTU4]

Following the recent u turn from the management of Glasgow University, this is a crucial meeting. Glasgow University Student Tenants make sure you get involved with this!

[GUSTU @GUSTUnion]

Our first open meeting!

Come along to shape GUSTU in whichever direction you see fit. We'll be discussing all the issues facing students and housing right now and figuring out the best ways to tackle them.

The only acceptable policy is full rent rebates until students are able to return to home.

@UofGlasgow this is wrong on so many levels. Get it fixed or students will take action.

[GUSTU @GUSTUnion]

This is what the University promised in January - a rent rebate UNTIL students return to accommodation.

Email to halls students today from UofG management goes back on their promise of a rent rebate.

In other words, UofG is daring halls students to rent strike - who will blink first?

[Ralph Bennett-Richards 💫 @RalphB_R]

really disappointed with the actions of @UofGlasgow here

this policy now forces students to choose between coming back now, during a lockdown, to cut their losses on paying rent or to never come back at all

do better

don’t leave rent rebates ‘to be confirmed’

[USSTU @USSTU4]

[NUS Scotland @NUSScotland]

The Scottish Government should follow Wales' lead.

Alongside @uni_scot, we commend the Welsh Government and call for both students and institutions in Scotland to be supported through the pandemic.

[UoM Rent Strike 2023 @rentstrikeUoM]

This is a great step from Salford and one every university should be taking with the government providing assistance to those unis that can’t afford it.

[GUSTU @GUSTUnion]

Don’t come back to uni, but pay your rent!

Don’t go outside, but come to the library!

ScotGov know unis and students need support, but it will risk public health rather than take measures which will oblige it to make that support concrete.
