TALKS are set to begin between students occupying management buildings in Stirling and university bosses.

Members of the University of Stirling Solidarity Network (USSN) have been staging a sit-in in the Cottrell building on the campus since November 26 in a show of solidarity for the recent University College Union (UCU) strike action.

Having threatened students at the weekend with disciplinary action, management has now agreed to discuss USSN’s demands, the group said.
