The University has erected signs at the entrances to the Clayton campus and close to the encampment under regulation 93(1) of the Monash University (Council) Regulations.
While Monash University respects the right to freedom of speech and expression and the right of assembly to engage in peaceful protest, the safety of our students and staff members is paramount.
Until further notice, any person, other than a Monash University student or staff member, who engages or intends to engage in protest activities is directed not to enter, access or otherwise be present in, a University precinct.
Any contravention of this direction will be referred to Victoria Police.
As a result of the behaviour of non-Monash individuals on campus, and to ensure the safety of our community, Monash Security and Victoria Police will be undertaking identification checks on individuals at Clayton campus engaged in protest activity.
Any individuals who are not identified as members of the Monash community will be asked to leave the campus by Monash Security. Refusals to leave will be referred to Victoria Police under regulation 93(1) of the Monash University (Council) Regulations.
