Monash Gets Moving for Asylum Seekers! Staff, students, and alumni are excited to be raising money in support of asylum seekers through the 2019 Monash Run for Refugees on Sunday 28 July. Over 250 runners from a dozen teams are joining the run, including participants from the Monash Student Association (MSA), ERDA, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, and everyone’s favourite caffeine supplier, Grafali’s Coffee Roasters Monash Clayton ! As asylum seekers are ineligible for government support, the full cost of each year must be paid up front, placing an annual barrier of up to $35,000 between deserving asylum seekers and their dream of pursuing higher education. With this in mind, almost $20,000 has been raised so far this year, with an overall goal of raising $100,000 – this will cover a significant portion of the cost of an asylum seeker’s study at Monash through an Asylum Seeker Scholarship. You can help us by signing up today at www.monash.edu/run All first time runners receive a free Team Monash running top, and everyone who raises $500 will be eligible to receive a two-tone Monash hoodie as well. 100% of all money raised goes directly to support asylum seekers at Monash, so grab your colleagues and join us as we run for refugees this July.

In a recent interview on ABC News, #OtzmaAnalytics founder and Monash University Adjunct Associate Professor in Data Science and AI, Dr Michael Brand was called in to provide his input on recent criminal investigations against Facebook. The investigations were regarding its allegedly illegal data deals to share customer and link data with more than 150 other companies, including Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Sony. Dr Brand’s verdict, "what was missing here is transparency. The problem would not have existed if Facebook’s practices were subject to external review of the kind Otzma Analytics provides."
