Do you know what exactly your student fee's are paying for within the University?
If you don't know and you wish to find out, then you are one of many University of Plymouth students that are beginning to question what their money is being used to fund.
This petition is part of a campaign calling on upper management at UoP to be more transparent about expenditure, by providing each student with a 'balance sheet' or similar documentation, detailing the use of student fees.
With University reshuffles, redundancies, and cuts (alongside tripled fees), more students then ever before are asking 'What is the University providing for me with the use of my loan?'.
If you want an answer, then this petition is for you.

The administration remains silent despite our questions. They cannot hide behind bureaucracy forever if enough of us keep asking.

I'd like to know the differences in wage increases between the executives and the lecturers.
On an English course, plugging 9 grand a year into this uni and they still expect us to buy our own books. Literally no idea what they could possibly be spending these fees on.
I'm confused why we are spending 9 grand if Uni do not get the whole amount or majority of it. Also I would like to know why areas that need to be improved or replaced aren't, while new buildings are being built without no real need!!!!
£9000 does seem a lot due to the lack of lectures, divergent marking and the fact that psychology does not get anything provided eg trips (with the exception of a few Ebola, a lot of which material is irrelevant)
I'd definitely like to know, considering I only have about 6 hours of lectures a week, and from the end of March I have none
I think we should be able to see exactly where our money is going. If it doesn't directly affect me then why am I paying for it?
I think that there should be an equilivent of "freedom of information act"

Why does the University need 900 pounds from me for my placement year? And how is my lecture only course the same tuition amount as people having trips abroad at no extra cost?
