Tens of thousands of students are paying more than £9,000 a year for university tuition that so far is online if it’s happening at all. Having been urged to take up their places they are also at far greater risk than the general public of catching Covid. Covid is not their fault. Debts are no laughing matter. Don’t they deserve a refund?
Editor: Giles Whittell, Editor and Partner, Tortoise
Our invited experts include:
David Kernohan is an Associate Editor of Wonkhe. He has also worked for the University of Glamorgan (now the University of South Wales). He’s an expert in teaching quality enhancement policy, funding policy, sector agency politics and history, research policy, and the use of technology and data in Higher Education.
Josh Sandiford is a Tortoise Student Ambassador, a third year politics student at The University of Manchester and the Deputy Editor of the student newspaper The Mancunion.
How does a digital ThinkIn work?
A digital ThinkIn is like a video conference, hosted by a Tortoise editor, that takes place at the advertised time of the event. Digital ThinkIns are new to Tortoise. Now that our newsroom has closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, we feel it’s more important than ever that we ‘get together’ to talk about the world and what’s going on.
The link to join the conversation will be emailed to you after you have registered for your ticket to attend. When you click the link, you enter the digital ThinkIn and can join a live conversation from wherever you are in the world.
Members can enter their unique members’ access code to book tickets. Find yours in My Tortoise > My Membership in the Tortoise app.
If you have any questions or get stuck, please read our FAQs, or get in touch with us at memberhelp@tortoisemedia.com

What is a Tortoise ThinkIn?
A ThinkIn is not another panel discussion. It is a forum for civilised disagreement. It is a place where everyone has a seat at the (virtual) table. It’s where we get to hear what you think, drawn from your experience, energy and expertise. It is the heart of what we do at Tortoise.
Sensemaker Live is in partnership with Santander
