Would students accept this?
I would like to see fees organised fairly and that would be something like this.
Pass with a 1st = No fees due.
Pass with a 2.1 = 20% payable.
Pass with a 2.2 = 40 % payable.
Pass with a 3rd = 60% payable.
Pass with a Pass = 80% payable.
Fail or Drop Out = 100% payable.
Obviously there would be some cases where dropping out was unavoidable and each case should be taken on its merits and payments should be adjusted accordingly. I think this would be a fair system. There should be rewards for success and fees should reflect this. As an aside I would also say that all student union subs should go towards setting up scholarships for people from underprivileged backgrounds and not towards subsidies at the student bar.
@ Superdog, thanks for the input. I did mention that each case of dropping out should be dealt with individually.
Additionally, pushy Parents will continue to be pushy Parents whatever the situation.
As for the pressure pushing them over the edge, well if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen. Harsh as that may seem, these are the realities they will face in the real world when they get a job (unless of course they work in the public sector). It would be nice to know when you were employing a graduate that they could work under pressure.

Not a cat in hell's chance. The pressure would push many students over the edge and pushy parents would be on the phone, or sending emails, every minute of every day asking why their 'Charlotte' did not get a first for everything.
And what if the student drops out after a year, or even 6 months as many do? What exactly would '100%' be then? The remaining term of the degree? Or just the time they were there? If the first, you have to be kidding, if the second, uni's go bust.
Nope, never going to work.
