On 22 August 2016, students began an occupation at the Sydney College of the Arts against savage course closures and job cuts. It lasted 65 days, making it the longest student occupation of an administration building in Australian history. And it forced the university into a significant retreat. Thandi Bethune, Kelton Muir and Adam Adelpour were all involved. Here they talk about the campaign and its lessons.
