The Tasmania University Union (TUU) condemns the anti-semitic and homophobic attack perpetrated at the Domain Campus of the University of Tasmania by white supremacist and neo-Nazi group Antipodean Resistance. Universities around Australia have faced similar attacks of vandalism this year by the same group who use racist and homophobic terms while displaying Nazi imagery.
President of the Tasmania University Union Clark Cooley said “We stand against white supremacists and neo-Nazi activities in our community, any such discrimination will not be tolerated. This is a deeply horrific message to be sending to the multicultural makeup of our university and the broader Tasmanian community”
“Everyone has the right to be educated in a safe and supportive environment. We will always support university students, staff and our community and embrace the diversity of race, heritage, faith and sexual orientation that exists in our community”
The Tasmania University Union (TUU) was founded in 1899 as the representative body for all students of the University of Tasmania. The TUU seeks to advance the rights and protect the interests of students by ensuring the their voices are heard by parliamentarians, policy makers, university leadership and the wider community.
