A Melbourne university student group has caused uproar over its plans to oppose Anzac Day events on the grounds they glorify war.

The Monash University Student Council will debate a motion on Thursday calling on its members not to support or promote any Anzac Day "celebrations" arguing it is an exercise in war glorification and patriotism.

The Australian Liberal Students Federation has condemned the move as the "ultimate disrespect" to those who died defending the country.
