On 4th May the Metropolitan University buidling in Holloway Rd was spontaneously taken over by 60 students whose courses are soon to be axed completely. Many students will have to transfer to other institutions to complete their degrees. The Management plans to delete 70% of all courses being offered at the University. The Met has been occupied before in December 2010.
