extremely democratic and constitutional way". The next day the
Governors closed the building, but the students stayed in. The Governors installed security guards who having talked to the students, sided with them. One of the guards, James Teelan, said "We have just about had enough. The students are law-abiding citizens and are doing no harm … Our sympathies are now wholly with the students. They are causing no trouble … From what I can gather, the firm's idea was to build up the force of security men gradually and without the students suspecting, so that they could be ousted. I could not bring myself to be part of it". Councillor Tony Heath also sided with the students. Hampshire County Council, having withdrawn a £9-a-week grant from a student, Sally Williams, at the request of SCC, realized this might be illegal and restituted it. Fifty parents asked the Governors not to victimise students or staff. The Governors brought an injunction against the security guards and cut off the electricity to the college. The students hired a generator and remained on the premises.

SCC had claimed that the sackings were due only to the need for economies but started to advertise for new staff in the
Photographic department. By 19 September SCC were talking of an offer of compensation to the seven full-time staff who had been sacked. The School reopened but a student was told to stay away by SCC. Her parents were members of the parents association which had opposed the Governors and SCC. Tom Arnold reinstated her. SCC employed twenty-five new staff, none of whom was a member of the ATTI. In October the Guildford Trades Council added their voice to the growing demand for a public enquiry. By 12 October with the confirmation of the dismissal of the seven full-time staff by SCC, Jack Straw added to the call for a public enquiry.
547:, chairman of the National Council for Diplomas in Art and Design found the decision to sack the staff "deplorable". By November the ATTI had blacklisted Guildford School of Art and was threatening to blacklist all other art establishments under SCC control. 50 students started a 24-hour sit-in at Guildford School of Art in protest against the way it was reorganised and being run and demanded the reinstatement of the sacked staff. Tom Arnold met 130 parents of students but did not answer their questions about the staff sackings, the sit-in or the restructuring of the School.

Council (many councillors were on holiday). All SCC members were recalled. On 29 July, after an eight-week sit-in, the students left the building. On 30 July Tony Heath asked amidst shouting how much ratepayers money had been spent on hiring security guards. He praised the students some of whom cheered him from the public gallery. The security guard company "Interstate Security" was an "off-the-shelf" company which was quickly wound up. The school reopened in the autumn of 1968.
