Students join University of Sussex protest

Scores of students have been bussed in from other
universities to join the six-week protest for a day

Students from around the UK have joined a University of Sussex protest over the outsourcing of support services.

The university stepped up security on the Falmer Campus amid claims hundreds more demonstrators would support the six-week student sit-in.

Sussex Police said protesters had started to cause "significant damage" to Sussex House in an effort to gain entry, before breaking in.

No arrests have been made, the spokesman said.

Scores of students were bussed in from other universities to join their local counterparts.
