Students want 'racist' professor to stay

STUDENTS of controversial academic Andrew Fraser have backed him in his battle with Sydney's Macquarie University, which has seen him ostracised by fellow academics.

Students expressed strong opposition to the university's decision to suspend its associate professor in public law from lecturing after he refused its ultimatum to stop using his university title when expressing his views on race.

On Friday, Vice-Chancellor Di Yerbury suspended Professor Fraser's classes when he vowed to turn up for them today in defiance of her direction that he could no longer give lectures.

One of Professor Fraser's students, Amy Phane, said although she was Vietnamese he had not discriminated against her.

Another student, Patrick Mahony, said he disagreed with the professor's views but believed he should be allowed to keep expressing them and to teach. "He is a very good teacher," said Mr. Mahony, 22, who is in the fourth year of an arts honours-law degree.

"He made no attempt to hide his views in class and there were critical discussions, but we found it challenging. Freedom of speech is a vital part of liberal democratic society."

But National Tertiary Education Union NSW secretary Chris Game said the union backed the university because Professor Fraser, a union member, had breached its statement of ethics.

However, the union's Macquarie University branch president Judy Goyen has called for Professor Fraser to be allowed to publicly express his views.
