Universities Australia reaffirms stand against racism

Universities Australia has joined with business and community leaders in condemning racism in all its forms, reaffirming its long standing commitment to the "Racism: It Stops With Me" campaign by the Human Rights Commission.

The peak body is an official partner of the “Racism: It Stops With Me” Human Rights Commission campaign to stamp out racism in any form in Australia.

The campaign is designed to ensure that Australians recognise that racism is totally unacceptable in our community and must not be tolerated.

A statement in support of former Australian of the Year and Sydney Swans star Adam Goodes following his treatment at AFL matches, was launched last Friday.

Mr Goodes is an ambassador of the “Racism: It Stops With Me” campaign.
