鈥淚n relation to the ICAC statement on the former University of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Rathjen, I want to send a strong message. Sexual assault and sexual harassment are not acceptable. Not on our campuses, and not in Australian society.鈥听
鈥淥n behalf of our sector, I want to recognise the strength of the women听involved听and the trauma that they have experienced. To all victims and听survivors听I say this: we support you and believe you. Violence against women is never okay, and everyone has a right to be safe.鈥听
鈥淎ustralia鈥檚 universities have an enduring commitment to providing a safe and respectful environment for our students and staff.鈥听
鈥淔or anyone who has experienced sexual assault or sexual harassment, we encourage you to come forward. You can expect our full support, care and compassion.鈥听
