Govt Launches Task Force to Combat Antisemitism in Universities
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
The Australian government is establishing a task force, led by David Gonski, to tackle antisemitism in universities. This move follows concerns from Jewish students and leaders about incidents of antisemitism on campuses. The task force aims to ensure the education system effectively prevents and responds to such incidents. The initiative comes after a terrorist attack in Sydney and reports of antisemitic incidents at the Australian National University. Jewish students at ANU have reported feeling unwelcome and accused the university of not adequately condemning antisemitic messaging. The government plans to legislate new powers for the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Authority to mandate action from universities.
