Target: Macquarie University
Region: Australia
Background (Preamble):
A controversial law professor, Andrew Fraser, who was banned from teaching at Macquarie University has returned to his offices, but avoided a confrontation with officials by deciding, initially, not to attend lectures.
The Canadian-born Associate Professor was last month cautioned by Macquarie University over a letter he wrote to his local suburban newspaper, suggesting Australia was becoming a Third World colony by allowing non-white immigration.
Professor Fraser says that African migration increases crime, he believes that school test results point to a rising ruling class of Asians and he wants Australia to withdraw from UN refugee conventions.
No-one has disproved Professor Fraser's assertions and instead of disciplinary action, Macquarie University should provide specific support for Prof Andrew Fraser's academic freedom.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, believe that Macquarie University should provide specific support for Prof Andrew Fraser's academic freedom and his right to declare the views that he has recently espoused.
We also believe that his views should be taken seriously by the Federal Governement and be included in the policy debate that determines Australia's future immigration policy.
