Disciplinary action taken against 10 students since pro-Palestine encampment began, ANU vice-chancellor tells Senate estimates

ABC  

In short: The Australian National University has launched disciplinary action against 10 students since a pro-Palestinian protest began on campus. During Senate estimates hearings on Thursday night, ANU vice-chancellor Genevieve Bell said that some incidents had been referred to police and two students had been "excluded" from campus, which the ABC has confirmed to mean expelled. Professor Bell said the cases were referred "on the basis that they constituted, or at least could be seen as being various forms of violations of Australian law". Professor Bell said an investigation was commenced and on Friday, May 24, she received an email that "made clear" the encampment was in a "primary fire evacuation zone". Professor Bell said the university had been in extended correspondence with some encampment members to try and have a "conversation" about their concerns.
