The students, numbering around 200, demand are a full democratization of the university, an end to marketization, and a guarantee that no fees will be introduced. The students have demanded that the principality must be fired and replaced by a new leadership consisting of and elected by students and staff.

Tonight approx. a hundred students have slept over in the occupied and barricaded buildings. Workshops, plenaries, study rooms, and a communal kichen is set up. Students are staying until tomorrow, thereafter leaving for the summit in Louvain, Belgium.
