This page offers an overview of the University's response, services, support and FAQs regarding the ongoing student encampment protest.
Please note the University does not publicly comment on individual disciplinary matters.
UPDATE Monday 27 May 2024: ANU has directed the small number of participants remaining in the encampment to immediately vacate the site. This is due to an intolerable risk the encampment poses to staff, students and the wider public using the University’s Kambri precinct. You can read more about why the University has given participants this direction in our statement. As of 28 May, the encampment participants have moved their protest site to an alternative venue on University Avenue. ANU has provided options for protestors to continue their protests in ways that are respectful and safe for the entire University community and campus.
