Inquiry also hears safety review at Australian National University found protest encampment had ‘high’ psychosocial risk
An Australian National University student whose relatives were allegedly killed by the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza was asked to provide their death certificates to get an exam extension, the royal commission into antisemitism has heard.
A barrister representing the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, Yasser Bakri, asked the ANU’s acting provost, Prof Joan Leach, about the case in which a student asked for more time on an assessment because of the deaths. The student was told by their supervisor they would need to obtain proof, Bakri told the commission on Thursday.
