UPDATE: Demonstrations at the University of Birmingham

Guardian Education reports protests at eight English universities including Birmingham. A week-long occupation at LSE ended peacefully last night after the school's director Howard Davies issued a joint statement with students which included a pledge to back a fundraising drive for Palestinian scholarships, as well as the setting up of, "a working party to look at socially responsible investments that will be "content to receive" proposals about disinvestment from companies implicated in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories."
