One month on from the establishment of a pro-Palestine encampment outside Oxford University's Museum of Natural History, protesters say they will finally speak to the university heads. 

The Oxford Action for Palestine group announced the update on June 6, exactly a month on from when the first tents were set up on the lawn outside the museum. 

In a statement released on Wednesday morning, the group's spokesperson said: "Last night, vice chancellor Irene Tracey and other senior members of the Oxford University administration responded to our students' request for a meeting.

"The vice chancellor expressed the desire to work with the students on matters pertaining to OA4P's demands.

"They are in the process of arranging a date and time for discussion." 

When asked why it had taken the university so long to agree to the discussions, a university spokesperson said the had been meeting with people "throughout the conflict". 

They said: "The vice chancellor and her team, as stated in their communications, are always willing to meet with representatives of student societies, individual students and staff, as they have been doing throughout the conflict to discuss what we can do together to make a difference.

"It is in that spirit we welcome the upcoming dialogue with students and we look forward to the meeting."

OA4P said the group was eager to meet with the vice chancellor and the administration. 

They added: "(We) look forward to working with the university to address our collective obligation to act in the face of this genocide."

Since May 6, hundreds of students, staff and supporters have been involved across two encampments - with a second camp established at the Radcliffe Camera on May 19. 

The group's demands were delivered in-person on May 8 to the vice chancellor by supportive staff at a drinks reception following OA4P's disruption of an award showcase at the Sheldonian Theatre. 

Other notable events have included a die-in outside a graduation ceremony on May 18 in which protesters wore academic dress soaked in fake blood as well as a sit-in at the Wellington Square office building on May 23. 

The group said, at the time, that the sit-in followed "months of ignored protests, walk-outs, encampments, and requests to meet".

They said: "We entered with the intention to remain until we could engage in dialogue with the vice chancellor, but instead of choosing this path forward, the administration decided to evacuate the building."

While the OA4P group maintain their actions at the sit-in inside the administration building were peaceful, this was disputed by the university. 

In total, 17 individuals have been arrested as a result of that previous action - including 12 Oxford University students. 

16 people were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass with one of the 16 also on suspicion of common assault, while a 17th person was later arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and affray.

They have been released on police bail.
