Viva Engage reopening postponed

The University is deeply committed to providing a safe and welcoming work and study environment and preserving academic freedom and free speech.

In the context of recent and ongoing legislative developments at the state and federal level, arising from the Bondi tragedy, we have decided to postpone the reopening of Viva Engage. This pause will allow us time to develop, socialise and implement some refinements to the platform's settings, particularly features that give colleagues greater choice and control over the kinds of posts they see.

We acknowledge the tradition of custodianship and law of the Country on which the University of Sydney campuses stand. We pay our respects to those who have cared and continue to care for Country.
