NEWSAR · AI

Australian universities will be assessed and graded on their handling of protests, encampments, and flag displays under a new antisemitism report card system. The system, devised by antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal, was adopted by the Albanese government following the Bondi terror attack. Leaked documents reveal the assessment criteria, which are part of a broader plan submitted to the federal government in July. The plan aims to combat antisemitism and proposes withholding government funding from universities that are seen to facilitate or fail to act against it. The report card system is intended to evaluate how well universities address antisemitism on their campuses.
