Who is occupying, who is talking and who has won

Sussex have a great update on the university occupations around the country.

Warwick managed to get a record turn out at the Emergency Student Council Meeting last night where an overwhelming majority voted to condemn the humanitarian crisis that has been caused in Gaza as well as to show their support for those who participated in the sit-in. They have also brought the University to table to negotiate their demands regarding aid to Gaza and ethical investment. As the university has issued a statement on its website the students have ended the occupation. Well done - keep us posted on how the talks go and what you do next.

A parliamentary motion has been suggested - about the recent university occupations and the situation in Gaza. You can read about it on Bradford, LSE and Queen Mary university occupations websites. Sussex themselves had a meeting to decide what the next step should be. Keep us posted guys.

Kings are in their 10th day of occupation and really pushing to get Shimon Peress’s honorary doctorate revoked. They held a march about the issue today.

Nottingham are continuing the occupation and are getting support from local businesses who are providing them with food.

And you may have noticed but I keep adding relevant links so that people can find out as much as they like about the occupations - check out Solomon’s Mindfield (actually taking a well earned break at the moment), Riseup Radio based in Nottingham and Last Hours a punk site that updates brilliantly on the occupations. Please let me know if you run a relevant site so I can link to you too.
