Professor who claimed ‘Blak’ activists were leading University of Melbourne law school to ‘destruction’ settles discrimination case
AI Summary
Dr. Eric Descheemaeker, a professor at the University of Melbourne, has settled a discrimination case with the institution. The case stemmed from a 2023 email Descheemaeker sent to the law school dean, which was subsequently leaked and posted on campus. In the email, he claimed that "Blak" activists were leading the law school to "destruction," and that it was becoming an "ideological re-education camp." The university then attempted to terminate Descheemaeker's employment. He subsequently sued the university, alleging that the attempted dismissal in July was due to his political opinions.
