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.
