    Shame that Scottish students dont get charged tuition fees (in a Scottish Uni)..yet another inequality within the UK..prescription charges etc!!
    Good Luck to the protesters (but, like Dilligaf, I hope their tents are waterproof).
    BTW: I am helping to fund my daughter at Uni for a 4 yr ACADEMIC degree and I don't earn a huge salary!"

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.
