"We categorically and strongly refute recent allegations reported in the media. A claim made that providing an alternate exam entrance for all students to use during the encampment is “segregation” is factually incorrect and entirely unconstructive.

"Our top priority during this time was student wellbeing and this included offering alternative access routes for anyone wishing to avoid the encampment, these were open to all and not targeted or restricted to any specific group.

"We have zero tolerance for any form of racism or hate speech and believe sensational allegations like this are not only misleading but also counterproductive to genuine efforts to promote inclusion and respect.

"We remain resolute in our commitment to improvement and we know there is always more to do.

"Since the encampment we’ve done a significant review of our policies and introduced a new Campus Access Policy regarding appropriate conduct on University grounds."
