Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has slammed Charles Darwin University for taking a position on the Voice to Parliament debate and making students feel “ostracised” for opposing the proposal. The university has counselled Associate Professor Bea Staley over an announcement she sent to speech pathology students telling them they “might want to reflect deeply on whether a career in allied health in Australia is really for you” if they did not support the Voice. “My office has been contacted by students of Charles Darwin University, prior to obviously this email, who have been concerned that they no longer feel welcome at their own school,” she told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “They no longer feel that they have the freedom to discuss certainly this issue, that they are being ostracised because the university took the position to support the Voice. “This is a leadership failure, and I would call on the (Vice) Chancellor Scott Bowman to correct this to ensure that this sort of pressure isn’t applied to students by their lecturers.”
