ANU Campus Tensions and Antisemitism Response | Australia News
Description
A university student seeking an exam extension after losing relatives in Gaza was asked for death certificates — a policy the ANU provost didn’t know existed. Meanwhile, the Royal Commission heard about a student’s gesture misinterpreted as a Nazi salute — later clarified as covering a scar — and another gesture deemed unverifiable as antisemitic. Jewish students at ANU also reported trauma from pro-Palestine encampments, facing antisemitic slurs like “baby killer.” In response, ANU updated its code of conduct and rolled out mandatory training on antisemitism and bystander intervention to foster campus safety and respect.
