UEA students ‘outraged’ over £20 graduation tickets
Students at the University of East Anglia (UEA) are expressing their outrage over the £20 price tag for graduation tickets. Many students feel that this cost is exorbitant and unfair, especially considering the already high tuition fees they have paid throughout their time at university.
One student, Jessica Smith, stated, “I can’t believe they expect us to pay even more money just to attend our own graduation ceremony. It’s just another way for the university to make a profit off of us.”
The UEA administration has defended the price of the tickets, citing the costs of organizing the graduation ceremonies and the need to cover expenses. However, many students are calling for a reevaluation of the ticket prices and urging the university to consider more affordable options.
As the controversy continues to garner attention, students are taking to social media to voice their frustrations and organize protests. It remains to be seen how the university will respond to the backlash.
