Hundreds of people have turned up to protest proposed job cuts at Otago University today. 

This is the second protest where staff, students and members of the public are marching through the campus - pushing back against the university's request for staff to consider redundancies in a bid to save $60 million. 

RNZ reporter Tess Brunton is walking with the protesters through the university and speaks to Charlotte Cook.
