The vice-chancellor of the University of New South Wales has apologised for his university

Academic freedom is the basis of a Prestige Uni. UNSW pls give clear message 2 student n others the importance of Freedom of Expression. Hope all universities stand firmly 2 protect universal values instead of serving Money n Authoritarianism.

Academic freedom is the basis of a Prestige Uni. UNSW Pls stops ruin yr own reputation n give clear message 2 yr student respecting others point of view especially those w supporting Evidence. Hope all uni would protect universal values instead of serving Money n Authoritarianism

Glad to see the vice-chancellor is upholding the Australian values... for now. We must resist the influences and temptation of RMB from the CCP. CCP_is_terrorist CCPChina CCPVirus WuhanVirus

g1v3m3f1v3 this is so pathetic...

Academic freedom is very important. We cannot allow the CCP to control the ideology of society🙁

China is doing everything to eliminate the opposite voice! Even in the academic community!

We disappointed NBA, because they knees down to devil money, hope NSW protect Australia universal value, if china they dont like universal value howcome they study here? Why not study in china? Please cancel their visa, send them back to china if they dont accept universal value

The human rights is going to be evacuated via its own law. stays_apologize

Threats of CCP infiltrates different aspects, industries, religions, constituencies of many countries' enterprises and academics. Esp. high tech, vaccine & military secret. Stop them and protect your ppl. Cut all CCP related programmes now for safe.

China spreading the virus around the world, violating human rights in Uyghurs and Hongkong, It’s the time the world stand together to MAKE CHINA PAY! SOSHONGKONG standwithhongkong boycottchina

UNSW's kowtowing to the Communist China & its loyal thugs are just another example of CCP's infiltration in Australian academic institutions (UQ_News is also an example). Time for the int'l community to work on stopping CCP's expanding authoritarianism.

The number of Chinese students grow in Australian universities, become university's main income. If university cannot give up certain economic benefits, is equivalent to self-digging tombstones, even the self-esteem has gone. Shameful

what a shame🤦🏽‍♀️

Why kind of apology is this? Apologised but not putting back the tweets. CCP is dangerous to human civilisation. It brainwashed an army of millions of fascist nationalists to terrorise those who dare to speak out.

I hope the University of NSW can recognize the value of freedom of speech and not focus on China’s economic interests.

Then put back the tweets please

Hope the world can StandTogether and stand up to the CCP and StandwithUyghurs. 'Yesterday Uyghur, Today HongKong, Tomorrow World ' is a truth. BeAwareOrBeNext FreeHongKong StandWithHongKong

It is glad to hear that. Hope the university will continue to protect the academic freedom. Don’t be like the CCP, which against of freedom and human rights.

We sincerely hope that UNSW can uphold academic freedom. Students did nothing wrong in expressing their ideas with evidence. Why can’t student criticising China's human rights abuses? That’s unreasonable.

I wish UNSW could meet our expectations, not Chinese expectation of being another Confucius institute.

China laws apply in Australia ....lol That's why world should put pressure on China to wind back infringements on human rights☹️

Dare to remove those crazy Chinese nationalists out of Australia? That’s why can make a change to the academic freedom.

The kind of comments made by pro-Beijing bullies is shocking unacceptable. If they are allergic to academic discourse on human rights, they should go back to China.

now go lick Xi's feet
