'We will not stop til we win,'
A group of students who barricaded themselves inside a university building for five weeks in a protest over rent prices say they 'will not stop until they win'. The strikers have been refusing to pay their accommodation fees since January, and have this week claimed more students have joined the cause.
The rent strikers also state that due to '650' students withholding rent, the UoM is now £2m out of pocket. This is disputed. "Figures are not available for rent payments from the most recent collection – this group is making a guess," the university added. "The rate of payment in the most recent collection was consistent with those both in this and previous years.The group says 11 of the students are facing disciplinary action for their involvement in occupying university buildings from February to March.
Students who have not paid rent have been contacted by residences staff to explore payment options and any support they might need – financial, advice or wellbeing. "Full-time students received £170 and part-time students received £85. In March we announced that 10,000 students will receive a further payment."
