University of Portsmouth to Provide Students with Rent Relief

We demand immediate action from the University of Portsmouth on an injustice that threatens to severely impact our students. We are deeply concerned about the financial impact and inherent unfairness on students who are continuing to pay rent for their term-time accommodation despite being unable to return. Although the University does provide support to some students through their ‘Student Support Fund’ this is not accessible to all, therefore we urge the University to provide students with options for rent relief as soon as possible.
