Anti-Chinese Community Party activist Drew Pavlou has been barred from attending a review on his suspension

University of Queensland student-activist Drew Pavlou’s two-year suspension will be reviewed tomorrow night at the order of the uni’s chancellor - but Mr Pavlou will not be allowed to attend.

THE UQ Senate meeting called for by Chancellor Peter Varghese to review the two-year suspension sentence imposed on anti-Chinese Community Party activist Drew Pavlou will be held late tomorrow afternoon.

In an email sent to the 21-year-old Mr Pavlou was informed he could not attend the out-of-session Senate meeting that would discuss the Disciplinary Board’s decision to suspend the student over allegations of misconduct.

Mr Pavlou was told because he had made an appeal to the Senate Disciplinary Appeals Committee, the Chancellor was working on the basis that under conflict of interest protocols it would not be appropriate for the student to participate in the meeting, receive meeting papers, or receive the minutes of the meeting.

UQ Vice-Chancellor Peter Høj has informed the Senate he would not be participating in the meeting, receive meeting papers, or receive the minutes, while Senate members who will participate in the Student Disciplinary Appeals Committee will also not participate or receive meeting documents.

It’s understood his legal representative Tony Morris QC is seeking clarification over the move.

Mr Pavlou said he had been barred at the meeting that decides his fate “despite being democratically elected by students to stop these ... backroom deals. No oversight!,” on social media.
