Universities Face New Anti-Racism Rules | Perth News
Description
Australian universities are being forced to confront racism head-on, with new mandatory rules requiring them to define and combat antisemitism and Islamophobia—starting Monday. As the Bondi Royal Commission resumes, top educators from ANU, UNSW, Melbourne, and Sydney face tough questioning amid “pretty horrific evidence” of campus intolerance. The Education Minister warns progress is insufficient, demanding safer spaces, clear complaint systems, and robust online and physical security measures. To enforce compliance, the government plans to empower the university regulator to issue direct fines—bypassing courts. This crackdown follows a parliamentary inquiry that exposed a dangerous spike in antisemitism and a culture of impunity that’s allowed campus hostility to fester.
