This afternoon, a group of students have occupied the Owens Park Tower as part of a continued concerns against how they are being treated by the government and universities. We are committed to ensuring that any students taking part in this occupation is properly supported, with access to food, drinks and other support they need. We also want to ensure they are not unfairly penalised by the university or the community for taking this action.

The Students’ Union officers are meeting with university leaders daily to negotiate the demands our students have presented as well as a host of other things which have been prioritised by many students.

We are constantly updating our Covid hub on the Students’ Union website, which can be seen at: https://manchesterstudentsunion.com/covid/. We will also continue to communicate any changes to covid19 guidelines as we receive them to all students to ensure they adhere to them.
