Basic democratic rights have been dangerously restricted at the University of Sydney since October 7 last year. Organised by the National Tertiary Education, this public forum will discuss the McCarthyist regime that university authorities are imposing on staff and students, and its consequences for academic freedom, freedom of assembly, and political freedom in general.
