I just spoke to someone from Strathclyde, the police were called but they sat it out and they left pretty soon after, theyre still occupying the main room and discussions are underway. They should be updating their blog soon too.

Declare victory?? Is that really the right phrase…?
Occupation Response: Not to be rude, but ‘nitpicking, is that really the right phrase’? Perhaps you should be instead asking questions regarding why The University of Nottingham decided to be incivil about our demands whereas other universities were open and in the spirit of a critical pedagogical institution.
