AI Summary

short article 1 min

Australia's antisemitism envoy, Jillian Segal, directly selected Greg Craven, former vice-chancellor of Australian Catholic University, to lead an assessment of antisemitism at Australian universities. This followed an unsuccessful open tender process where Segal's office approached five firms, including consulting and law firms, to conduct the assessment. All five firms declined to bid on the tender. The assessment aims to evaluate how well Australian universities are addressing antisemitism on their campuses. Documents released under freedom of information laws revealed the initial lack of interest in the tender, leading to Craven's appointment.
