    Thanks for the support. You can keep in the loop by befriending 'Occupy Brookes' on facebook, emailing us at occupybrookes@gmail.
    com or going on our blog at http://occupybrookes
    .wordpress.com/ . We will try to get a twitter sorted soon.

    We are all very committed to our studies (and luckily the library is just a stone's throw away). This is not a boycott of lectures. It is going to be hard to juggle, no denying, but we feel it is 100% necessary to stick up for the future of education in this country."

Occupy protest starts at Oxford Brookes over student fees

Students inspired by the Occupy movement have set up outside Oxford Brookes University to protest against fees today.

About 25 students erected banners and tents at the university’s Gipsy Lane campus.

They are protesting against the introduction of £9,000 annual tuition fees from September and Brookes’ fee waivers and bursary package, which they say is inadequate.

The students say they will stay until their demands have been listened to.
