Queensland university apologises for ‘hurt’ and ‘offence’ caused at anti-racism event Parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism on university campuses hears Carumba Institute’s national symposium attracted criticism over alleged ‘anti-Jewish’ speakers.
The head of the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has issued an “unreserved apology” for events at an anti-racism symposium last month that caused offence, adding the institute behind it would “not be holding events like this in the future”.
Appearing before a federal parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism on university campuses on Wednesday, the vice-chancellor of QUT, Prof Margaret Sheil, was grilled over why the event went ahead despite concerns from community members about alleged “anti-Jewish” speakers.
