Watch: Australian National University scraps study of Western civilisation, while retaining a Centre for Islamic Studies and a course on Gender in German Culture

The Australian National University in Canberra has dumped plans to introduce a degree on ‘Western civilisation.’ The Ramsey Centre, chaired by former prime minister John Howard, was to offer 40 scholarships in the first two years of the program.

According to The Australian, “The backdown follows intervention by the National Tertiary Education Union and the Australian National University Student Association, which had claimed the program would push a ‘racist’ and ‘radically conservative agenda’.”

Rowan Dean on The Outsiders explained: “This is the same university that has a Centre for Islamic Studies, a Centre for Indigenous Studies, offers a Bachelor of Asian Studies, and promotes such worthwhile courses as Gender in German Culture: From Goethe to Trans, but has no time for Western civilisation.”

Watch:

The ANU has pulled out of new Ramsay Centre degree in Western Civilisation.@rowandean: The same university that has a centre for Islamic studies and offers a Bachelor of Asian studies apparently has no time for western civilisation.
