ECAJ calls for responses

If you’re studying or working at an Australian university, you’ve probably received an email this week asking you to fill out a survey about racism on campus.

The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has a message for Jewish respondents: please send them a copy of your answers too.

ECAJ is concerned that Jewish experiences might get lost in the data from the Australian Human Rights Commission’s national Racism@Uni survey.

The organisation wants anyone from the Jewish community who completes the survey to also send their responses to ECAJ, their local Community Security Group, or their state Jewish roof body – especially if they haven’t already reported any antisemitic incidents they’ve experienced.

The peak body representing Australian Jews has serious concerns about how the survey has been designed.
