More details from petition creator
Currently OU students do not have the same rights and recognition as students at other institutions. For example, access to Student Loans to cover more than just course fees. OU is one of the best universities in the country as the students who are enrolled tend to have jobs, children etc so are aware of how much dedication is required of them before they start. There is also evidence to suggest that OU students are getting younger chosing OU format of study over conventional study but not receiving the same recognition for their efforts.
