STUDENT protesters warned of escalating threats and hostility today as they spent a sixth day occupying the offices of the University of Brighton’s vice-chancellor.

Members of an autonomous and anonymous student group first took over the space on the eighth floor of a building at the East Sussex institution’s Moulsecoomb campus on Thursday.

The move came after the university, which has splashed out £50 million on new building projects in the last two years, announced plans earlier in May to slash about 130 jobs by June 20.
