Senator Mehreen Faruqi, Australian Greens Deputy Leader and Higher Education Spokesperson, who is a patron of the People’s Inquiry into Campus Free Speech on Palestine, has responded to the Inquiry’s recently released Preliminary Report (Report).
The Report outlines three preliminary findings:
1) Australian universities have restricted the free speech and academic freedom of staff and students on the question of Palestine;
2) Australian universities have targeted students and staff who express support for Palestine for surveillance and discipline;
3) Universities have used existing policies and devised new policies in an opaque way to target and censor students and staff expressing support for Palestine.
