STORY: Video obtained by Reuters showed Nanjing Tech University students crowding in large numbers on campus, chanting slogans demanding to be allowed to go home.

In another clip, university staff could be seen talking to the students, encouraging them to return to their rooms and promising that their demands would be heard.
