Protesting on campus: what students need to know

Wednesday, 2 October 2024 — NetPol

As a new academic term begins, the student movement is preparing for action on campus. Netpol’s new guide offers practical advice and key information for student organisers 

After the wave of pro-Palestine encampments on campuses across the UK, Liberty Investigates uncovered extensive information sharing between academic institutions and police. A UCU spokesperson condemned the “evidence of university managers collaborating with the police to target, surveil, and potentially criminalise their own students for peacefully protesting”.

In this guide, we break down:

  • key advice for resisting surveillance of your campaign
  • information for international students about visa status and protest
  • where you can go to get advice and training to help you understand the law
  • tips on navigating other threats to student organising, such as academic sanctions and harassment from campus security.

You can access the full guide here.

Whether you’re a student, academic, or have connections to student organisers, we need your help to make sure this information gets into the hands of the people that can use it most. Share the guide on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter/X and help to spread the word.
