Students at Roskilde University set up a blockade at the institution’s administrative offices this morning in protest against educational cuts proposed by the Tax Commission, reported Berlingske Tidende newspaper.

The commission’s proposal to reduce students’ eligibility period for state financial assistance from six years to four has met with disapproval with university students across the country. But students at Roskilde University are the first to have taken action against the proposal.

The students began the blockade at 7:45 this morning but later dispersed, with hundreds of students gathering at a 9:30 meeting on the issue at the university cafeteria.
