Students open new anti-austerity front
Week of action to tackle debt profiteering

Students will today escalate their campaign to stop Con-Dem ministers privatising loans so their City pals can turn a profit from graduate debt.

Marches, rallies and stunts will take place on more than 50 campuses as part of the Student Assembly Against Austerity week of action.

Visits to MPs' constituency offices are planned and students will join in with a third national strike by university workers over pay on Thursday.
