A protest is expected on the University of Sussex campus this afternoon (Saturday).
Some students want to stop police coming near their residences.
The group, called "Reclaim Sussex", lists among its concerns recent forceful police interventions during a party that broke coronavirus lockdown rules.
Officers claim two police were assaulted at the time, but say they're in discussions with university and student leaders.
A Sussex Police spokesperson told More Radio:
"We are aware of a planned event at the University and are also arranging a meeting with the Student Union.
"Meanwhile we continue to have our usual PCSO presence on the campus as part of neighbourhood policing and community engagement and also continue to respond to requests for assistance and reports of crime."
It's scheduled for Library Square at 3pm.
