A royal commission starts investigating how universities respond to reports of anti-Semitism and how they handle pro-Palestine student activism, according to two outlets covering the same proceedings. The investigation focuses on institutional responses, with the commission set to hear evidence relating to student experiences and alleged misconduct. Both reports say the commission will examine claims that students face abuse in the context of these issues, characterising the alleged treatment as “horrific.” The coverage indicates that universities are expected to provide information on their policies, processes, and actions in response to complaints and wider concerns raised by students. While one outlet frames the inquiry around both anti-Semitism concerns and pro-Palestine activity, the shared theme is that the commission is assessing whether universities appropriately address allegations and maintain safety and conduct standards. The hearings are described as an early stage of a broader review, with forthcoming testimony and submissions intended to clarify what occurred and how institutions acted.
