The 2011 occupation of Hetherington House at the University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, was a student, staff and community anti-austerity protest from 1 February to 31 August 2011. It became one of the longest-running student occupations in the context of the wider movement of student protests in the UK in 2010 and 2011 United Kingdom anti-austerity protests.[1][2]
The occupation was referred to by the occupants as the 'Free Hetherington'. Its purpose was to protest against cuts to higher education[3] within Glasgow University and nationwide. The occupation hosted several talks and discussion sessions.[4] It triggered debate about the legitimacy of protest action versus consultation with University management. One manifestation of this was a debate hosted by the University Dialectic Society on the utility of the occupation's approach.[5] Ultimately, the university implemented some of its proposed cuts, though its plans were scaled back in some areas, although this was not directly related to the protest.[6] The occupation ended peacefully at noon on 31 August 2011, after an agreement between the occupation and University management.
