Curtin University supports the right of our staff and students to work and study in a safe space, without interference by foreign governments or their agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a university, foreign government interference<\/strong> can include situations where an overseas government is linked to threats or harassment targeting students, staff or researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding and identifying foreign government interference can be complex. What makes it distinct is its intent: to advance another country\u2019s interests at the expense of student wellbeing, Australian law or national\/Curtin values.<\/strong> Foreign government interference can take many forms, including threats, intimidation, surveillance, silencing criticism, coercive or secret influence and the theft of technology or intellectual property (IP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
