RALLY AGAINST RACISM

In 2021, the BIPOC Department released the Racism Report, presenting over 70 individual accounts of racism at the ANU, affecting dozens of staff and students. The Racism Report is a groundbreaking document that highlights the decades of inaction in addressing systemic racism on campus, a trend reflected in the broader settler-colonial state of Australia.

The BIPOC Department is calling for an action on Monday 10 October to demand that the ANU actually begin to act. The ANU’s response earlier this year addressed only a single recommendation, failing to engage with any other recommendation. It is time for the ANU to act and take responsibility for systemic racism.
