Prestigious UK universities including the London School of Economics (LSE) will continue with online lectures in the autumn term, sparking a backlash from former government ministers and students who are calling for refunds in £9,250 tuition fees. University College London, Imperial College as well as the University of Cardiff and the University of Leeds have also refused to have face-to-face teaching in lectures despite the government saying they can lift restrictions. The top universities said they will hold many of their seminars and lectures online and some will make mask-wearing mandatory on campus while others are enforcing social distancing rules.
