Student occupation

Student occupation

University of Otago students (often dubbed ‘scarfies’) occupy a room in which the University Council is meeting in August 1996. The students were protesting against a proposal to increase tuition fees that was being discussed at the meeting, which had to be abandoned due to the disruption. Their action failed to prevent the increase.
