The university bureaucrats finally backed down and abandoned these tuition hikes. They tried to treat our degrees like commodities but 1,585 of us forced them to retreat. Stay vigilant because we have to ensure they do not try to sneak this greed back onto the agenda later.
We, the undersigned, support this petition in a bid to fight the raising of tuition fees and to say "NO" to the unacceptable marketisation of Higher Education.
We further believe that alternatives to higher fees should be seriously explored as part of the independent fees review.
The university board can no longer pretend we are invisible because the momentum behind this demand is now undeniable. They are trying to squeeze every cent out of our futures but this surge in support proves we are ready to fight back.

One hundred people have signed on to fight this blatant greed. The university administrators think they can bleed us dry for profit but they are clearly underestimating our resolve.

This is getting ridiculous. fees just keep going up and up while the quality of teaching stays the same.
