Universities around the nation are refusing to give into the demands of pro-Palestine demonstrators camped out on campuses as a stand-off at a Melbourne university continues.

Saturday, May 18, was the fourth day demonstrators had occupied a building at the University of Melbourne in Parkville, with students saying they had no plans to leave after failed talks with university leaders.
