Sydney Uni ‘unsafe’ for Jewish staff: workplace claim

Jewish staff and students have filed a workplace claim against the University of Sydney seeking remedies for “psychosocial harm” from antisemitism on campus.

The complaint to SafeWork NSW says Jewish employees have been subject to a “vicious racist campaign” which breaches the university’s responsibility to provide a safe working environment.

The group of 23 staff and students is seeking consequences “up to and including criminal charges” against vice-chancellor Mark Scott for his failure to respond to numerous incidents including threats against Jews, violent images, and constant aggression on campus.
