Students take over room in lecturers’ strike

Student activists from Glasgow University have occupied the institution’s Senate Room in solidarity with striking lecturers.

Members of the University and College Union (UCU) in ten Scottish universities are taking 14 days of action as a row over pensions continues, with the action having started on 22 February.

The Glasgow University Strike Solidarity members said they were occupying the Senate Room in solidarity with striking members of staff and to “remind our university management where their sympathies should lie”.
