Background
Some students in my university work weekdays and this new decision from the government that they won't finance us is not ideal. It means many people won't be able to study weekends. It took me more then 1 year to find a workplace to be able to work weekdays so that I can attend weekends. But now when the change will be put in place I will lose my job. This needs to be re-evaluated to allow the students that signed up for the weekends to finish what they signed for.
