STUDENTS OCCUPY UNIVERSITY BUILDING -  FEE MEETING ABANDONDED

<p>Victoria sudents successfully protested a University Council meeting
which 
was set to raise their fees. 


<p>The meeting had been rescheduled for 8am Wednesday
morning in an attempt to discourage student participation. The students 
camped at the university overnight and were able to enter the Council 
Chambers before the public meeting began. The University Chancellor was 
forced into abandoning the meeting. 


<p>The <A

cast">Otago University Students' Association</A> is standing behind the
Victoria 
University of Wellington Students' Association's actions in forcing the 
closure of the Victoria University Council's fees setting meeting 
today. The closure was a protest against probable fee increases for
2004.
