The 2011 occupation of Hetherington House at University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, was a student, staff and community occupation. It commenced 1 February 2011, ending 31 August 2011, becoming one of the longest-running student occupations in the context of the wider movement of student protests in the UK in 2010, early 2011, and 2011 United Kingdom anti-austerity protests. The occupation was referred to by the occupants as the 'Free Hetherington'. Its purpose was to protest against cuts to higher education〔http://www.scotsman.com/news/Glasgow-University-head-jeered-booed.6740638.jp?articlepage=1〕 within Glasgow University and nationwide. The occupation hosted an active schedule of talks and discussion sessions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Glasgow University Occupied" Events calendar on Facebook )〕 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=199712763382242 )〕 Ultimately, the University implemented some of its proposed cuts, though its plans were scaled back in some areas.〔http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/education/anger-as-university-scraps-courses-1.1108039〕 The occupation ended peacefully at noon on 31 August 2011, after an agreement between the occupation and University management. == Hetherington House == Hetherington House, at 13 University Gardens, was acquired by the University in 1956. The building was formerly used as a place for postgraduate students and staff to meet, and is believed to have been the first University Research Club of its kind established in the UK.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The University of Glasgow Story )〕 The building was named after Hector Hetherington, principal of the University between 1936 and 1961.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The University of Glasgow Story )〕 Its final incarnation was as the Hetherington Research Club (HRC), which additionally permitted mature student membership alongside staff and postgraduates.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Glasgow University )〕 The Hetherington Research Club ceased operating in February 2010 due to financial problems.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Herald Scotland )〕 The University later stated that they were unwilling to continue supporting the club〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Glasgow University )〕 after the Student Finance Sub-Committee rejected two proposed business plans on the grounds that they lacked financial viability. The building was largely unused until the occupation commenced on 1 February 2011, but was scheduled to be redeveloped by the University. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2011 Hetherington House Occupation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
