"We condemn this response by the University of Manchester; they are more willing to call police on their students than to consider our demands for affordable housing and cost of living support. We urge the university to present us an offer, not threaten us with arbitrary punishment and legal action."
A spokesperson for the University of Manchester said: "Around 30 people are continuing to occupy a small part of the Simon Building having gained unauthorised access last week and been asked to leave.
