A WALK-OUT at London University college Soas today saw hundreds of students join staff protesting against cuts threatening the jobs of academic workers on casual and fixed-term contracts.

The protest was led by chanting demonstrators, violinists, and drummers on the steps of the Bloomsbury campus. 

Unite the Resistance said that there was an “insurrectionary mood” at the lunchtime protest, where students demanded that any cuts made at the university college should be to management salaries.
