The protesters occupying several University of Manchester (UoM) buildings have left two facilities, but taken over another one, as they set out their demands to bosses.
Last night, members of the UoM Rent Strike group ‘gained unauthorised access to the Simon Building’, a spokesperson for the university said. They also confirmed that the protesters had left the Engineering Building and Samuel Alexander humanities centre.
Now, speaking to the Manchester Evening News, protesters have set out their demands to uni bosses, and explained why they took the decision to change buildings. The protester also warned that the group ‘will have no choice but to seriously escalate’ action if the institution refuses to negotiate.
