Amongst other things, they’re demanding rent refunds, tuition fee rebates, an end to university staff job cuts, and an end to the increased security measures and police patrols they’ve seen on campus.
They’re having to contend withuniversity security, and having meetings with university and SU officials regarding their demands. But they’ve got makeshift sleeping areas with pillows and sleeping bags, places to shower, “plenty of food”, and are being sent food deliveries by people supporting them.

Students occupying the University of Manchester’s Samuel Alexander building say security have been “hostile” towards them, but say: “We won’t leave until our demands are met”.
Yesterday evening, a group of students protesting the university’s treatment of students and staff, moved in and began occupying the historic Samuel Alexander building.
It follows last November’s successful occupation of Owens Park Tower which won a 30 per cent rent rebate for semester one, for all students living in halls.
STUDENTS have launched occupations at four universities to demand refunds of rents and tuition fees paid during lockdown.
They took over campus buildings at the universities of Manchester, Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam and Nottingham on Thursday evening.
The action follows occupations last year in protest at students being recalled to university, only to be locked in their halls of residence, denied face-to-face teaching and kept under watch by police and security guards on campus.
In a joint statement, the occupiers told the Morning Star: “This escalation comes off the back of the largest British rent strike in 40 years where students, angry at collectively paying over £1 billion for empty rooms, withheld payments to their landlords.
