The difficulty is that by far the most egregious racism at unis is directed at international students but no one wants to address that
The federal government may wait to respond to Jillian Segal’s antisemitism plan until after it gets a separate report from the Islamophobia envoy and a broader review of racism at universities, Jason Clare says @caitecassidy & I: theguardian.com/australia-news…
