Goldsmiths occupation against new round of cuts

Students at Goldsmiths University of London have occupied the college library in New Cross in protest against another round of cuts threatening the jobs of hundreds of staff (academic and professional services) and leaving the future of some courses in doubt.As the occupiers have noted, 'Goldsmiths is a microcosm of the decimation of Higher Education, the arts and our collective society'. The funding crisis is only part of it - it feels that there is an attempt to fundamentally change the nature of the institution and shift it from being a place of critical thinking and experimentation.
