The university announced last night it is “suspending all ties and activities with Russian institutions, indefinitely and with immediate effect”

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens the peace, freedom and democracy on which freedom of inquiry and academic collaboration is based,” Chancellor Julie Bishop, VC Brian Schmidt and Chair of Academic Board Joan Leach stated.

“ANU is proud to stand alongside other universities across the world that have already committed to similar actions, and to the sentiments expressed in this statement. We urge institutions of all types across Australia to join us.”

Needed saying.
