They are also calling for the removal of the University’s Chancellor, who sits on the Universities' pension fund, which invests millions in war-profiteering companies such as BAe. Get rid of him, and get rid of the companies. Invest in ethical companies, if you can find any.
The students moved in at about 1 pm and secured the doors. There are posters up on the windows of the 4th floor lecture hall, and red & black flags decorating the place. Security will let no one in, and say that anyone leaving will not be allowed to return.
Also, it emerged today that the Uni plans to shut down the Slavonic and Philosophy departments, as they aren't bringing in enough cash. A joint protest has been called for tomorrow at 11:00am outside the Adam Smith Building, in solidarity with the anarchists inside and against the money-grabbing university bosses.
The Adam Smith Building is off University Ave, near the QM Union. If you are in Glasgow, get along to Glasgow University at 11:00am tomorrow and give those inside a bit of support.
No war but the class war!

involved and had our demands "listened to" by a variety of uni officials.
Unfortunately, this morning they finally gave us the ultimatum to come out and discuss things with yet more academics or have the police brought in to kick us out.
Only a handful of anarchists turned up for the solidarity protest, the SWP/SSP students deciding not to bother (despite voting at a Justice Not War meeting to support the protest, if not actually take part) so we decided to cut our losses and leave peacefully – this time.
Thanks to everyone who supported us - this is only the beginning!
