The 2011 occupation of Hetherington House at the University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, was a student, staff and community anti-austerity protest from 1 February to 31 August 2011. It became one of the longest-running student occupations in the context of the wider movement of student protests in the UK in 2010 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 within Glasgow University and nationwide. The occupation hosted several talks and discussion sessions. 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. Ultimately, the university implemented some of its proposed cuts, though its plans were scaled back in some areas, although this was not directly related to the protest. The occupation ended peacefully at noon on 31 August 2011, after an agreement between the occupation and University management.
