The country’s High Court will decide on Feb 2 whether to allow a group claim against University College London, a decision which could set a precedent for other schools.
They are making a group action claim against at least 18 universities, on the basis that they did not receive the quality of teaching or access to facilities that they paid for.
Locked out of their campuses for months on end, many struggled to make friends and did not have access to the libraries and other facilities. “I missed out on a lot of the practical and social interactions, and it was really detrimental to my mental health as well,” added Ms O’Donnell, who staged a protest during her graduation demanding a refund of her course fees.She is currently working with the Student Group Claim, which brings together claimants under a group litigation order, to demand students be paid the difference in what they were promised and what was delivered by the universities.
The university also implemented policies to support students’ wellbeing and academic progression throughout the pandemic, and worked to minimise disruption from strike action, said the spokesperson.
