What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to ensure universities are held accountable to students under consumer protection law by extending the remit of the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman or creating a new body, similar to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education, which could enable students to access redress without the need for court action.
