Professor who claimed ‘Blak’ activists were leading law school to ‘destruction’ to leave University of Melbourne

A University of Melbourne law professor who wrote an email saying the institution was dictated to by “‘Blak’ activists” who were leading it to “destruction” will leave the university. “Professor Descheemaeker and the University have agreed that Professor Descheemaeker will leave his employment with the University to pursue other opportunities,” she said in an email viewed by Guardian Australia. “The University alleged that Professor Descheemaeker engaged in serious misconduct by making these communications. Professor Descheemaeker denied the allegations,” she said. In the email, Descheemaeker said MLS was “celebrating the ‘noble savage’” and likened it to an “ideological re-education camp”.
