The Sydney University residential college has expelled students over “humiliation-type behaviours” among male students last week.
Six students have been expelled and another 21 suspended from St Paul’s College at Sydney University after a serious bullying incident last week.
“This behaviour is contrary to our values and standards. Our response, upon learning of this and conducting a thorough investigation, has been to expel the perpetrators and suspend the bystanders who failed to intervene.” External providers run training programs for new students at the college, he said, in bullying and harassment awareness and prevention, and in appropriate use of social media.
“We’re also following up directly to understand additional steps the college is taking to manage this issue and ensure the safety and wellbeing of students,” they said.“While our affiliated residential colleges are independent, we endeavour to work together closely when issues arise, with the welfare of students our top priority.
