The University of Melbourne has become the first Australian education institution to agree to some demands of pro-Palestine protesters, who have been camping inside a department building for more than a week.
It comes as Deakin University’s pro-Palestine encampment in Victoria was scheduled to end on Thursday evening. But students at multiple campuses across the nation vowed to continue their sit-ins that are calling for universities to disclose, divest and cut ties with weapons manufacturers linked to Israel, arguing it makes them complicit in the war in Gaza.
