Students at the Sydney College of the Arts (SCA) in Rozelle, part of the University of Sydney, have occupied a key administration building in protest at the proposed relocation of the art school.

The occupation comes in response to the University announcement that it will relocate the SCA from its Rozelle campus to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) to Camperdown/Darlington campus, as part of a major restructure.
