Unless Niko Tiliopoulos’s sacking is defeated, it will set a precedent for use throughout the tertiary education industry to victimise and sack educators who refuse, for critical health reasons, to adhere to the intensifying “return to campus” offensive.

    Pretty disturbing when you consider they are silencing those most at risk of dying. You could even say this is use of a disease, or just general climate collapse being forcably ignored despite warnings from those who will be and have been effected first. Fitting for the times I suppose…

    for critical health reasons

    insisting on COVID safety

    Seems really vague. What exactly was she insisting people do? Wear masks? That’d be pretty bonkers.

      Tiliopoulos has severe respiratory and autoimmune conditions, so he cannot risk catching COVID-19, which could be life-threatening. Two doctors, including one appointed by a university review panel, made that assessment of “substantial” risks to his health.

      Seems pretty reasonable to me, also says that thousands students were against his removal, must be a great guy.
