There were 31 reports last year, “a significant increase” on previous years

Of them, 21 went to a university inquiry and all respondents, “were found to have engaged in misconduct.”  Just over half were excluded from the university with the others variously suspended, “denied access” for a period or received conditions on their enrolment.

The other cases are either in progress, outside ANU jurisdiction or subject to “other processes.”

The university states there were nine reports in 2020 but suggests the increase, “may signal” that victims/survivors, “feel safe and empowered to report to the university.”

ANU states reports were finalised in an average 27 working days.
