Students lose out in terms of lab work, university experiences, and face to face interactions with lecturers due to this pandemic. So should students be compensated accordingly?
I agree. 25 to 50% is reasonable. Otherwise it isn't fair at all.
If they are going fully online, then yes they should refund something like 25% of the tuition of the second semester because students are not using the full facilities on campus.
I think it should be a decision that would be forced by parliament or the ministry of education
Exactly! A compromise should be made between both parties - student and university.
Dear Michael Halim, I believe that all public (i.e. state) schools of every order and grade including universities must always be exempt from any type of tax for all students, i.e. education must be free for all, regardless of the current pandemic or other contingent events. It must be the State through general taxation that provides for the education costs of all its citizens. The cost to the State of not properly educating all its citizens, in my opinion, is much higher than the cost of educating all. Therefore I would like to invite everyone to reflect and participate in the discussion at the following link:

but who will pay you a salary? I can't say that I worked less and this is not due to distance teaching, more and more works were done by using digital technologies. Today, I have one meeting at 11, that 11:30, that 14:00 till 15:30. After that, just a short time to dinner and again try to work until 5 o'clock. In the past, I must to sit to the bus and move to one of these meetings. Do you see the diference
