Students occupying Glasgow University’s Hetherington Research Club were forcibly evicted by police. They then marched in protest to Principal Muscatelli’s office.

The occupation was in protest to the proposed cuts at the University of Glasgow, amounting to £20m by 2014. The HRC recently closed due to a lack of funding and the university plan to turn it in to offices and teaching space while many believe it should be re-opened as a research club which offered social and academic facilities to postgraduate students.
