Australia’s first national report on racism in universities has found the problem to be widespread and systemic. It revealed that 70 per cent of students and staff surveyed across 42 universities had witnessed racism, with higher rates reported among Indigenous, Chinese, African, Jewish and Middle Eastern communities.
