Last month Team Australia, which comprised of eight ANU law students, swept the board at the 2024 Intercollegiate Negotiation & Arbitration Comp in Tokyo. James Fisher, who coached the team, said that this was the best result ANU has ever had at this competition.

'The only way we can understand what Israel is doing in an overall sense is not a series of war crimes. It is one big crime and that the name for that is genocide.' My question to Israeli historian Benny Morris - which he didn't answer - in @mehdirhasan's new @AJHeadtoHead.

Lectures train one to listen. Abolishing lectures is therefore an excellent university preparation for professional life in the managerial class.
It is deeply frustrating that multiple Australian unis are seeking to end lectures across the board, regardless of the pedagogical needs of specific disciplines or units. There is a LOT to be said for the active listening skills and cognitive engagement that lectures cultivate

I urge ANU senior management to ensure these outstanding not-for-profit child education centres, some of which have operated for decades, remain the exclusive providers of childcare on campus. They are the 💛 of @ourANU community & produce remarkable value. My wee fella agrees 🕺

I have been at @ourANU for more than 3 hours so far. ANU sending huge numbers of security and police to vacate ANU Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Shameful to send police onto a uni campus to break up a peaceful protest. Rumours more police on the way.

The students are always on our side sending a clear message to the uni. In 20 years the uni will tokenize this movement as ‘proud history of student activism’ and not mention that they are going to send police in to brutalize students. @UniMelb we will never forget.

pinkwashing of colonial genocide by gutless sycophants @Tokyo_R_Pride who confirm no exclusion of orgs complicit in israel’s atrocities, to ensure ‘tolerance’ (read: corporate goodwill). the ‘rainbow family’ in 🇵🇸 would prefer not being slaughtered but fuck them eh 🤷‍♀️ 💴🏳️‍🌈
