The university says some students have gone beyond the bounds of acceptable behaviour in protesting against the Israel-Gaza war.
Two Sydney University students have been suspended after classes were “significantly disrupted” by protesters last week, as the encampment on the institution’s quad lawns enters its fifth week.
In a letter to staff and students last week, the university said some individuals had gone beyond the bounds of acceptable political announcements before classes began.This included deliberately covering their faces to conceal their identity, not allowing classes to commence at the scheduled time, and acting in a way that was considered intimidating.
“We continue to be very clear about our expectations of behaviour on our campus, writing to students and staff again last week about acceptable and unacceptable conduct,” the university spokeswoman said.
