ANU Staff Supporting Climate Action Strikes
The ANU Students Association is hosting a Climate Walk Out on the 9th of August at 12pm and will be supporting the School Students Strike on the 20th of September. We believe that students and staff who have to miss class to attend these strikes should not be penalised for this. We would like to see support from ANU staff for this matter.
Why is this important?
The University of NSW, The University of Sydney and The University of Technology Sydney all released statements prior to the previous School Students Climate Strike which was held on the 3rd of May 2o19 stating that students would not be penalised if they missed class to attend this.
The University of Western Australia has also stated they will not be penalising students and staff if they attend the Walk Out on the 9th of August. We would like the ANU to do the same, and would love to see ANU staff supporting this move.
