Julie Bishop denies bullying allegations that led to academic Liz Allen’s distress, calling claims false amid a parliamentary inquiry.
Julie Bishop, Chancellor of the Australian National University (ANU), has denied allegations she bullied an academic, Liz Allen, to the point of near-suicide, calling the claims false and criticizing a parliamentary inquiry for publicizing them.
Allen, who testified in August, said stress from university officials, including Bishop, contributed to a miscarriage and suicidal thoughts.
Bishop responded with a 25-page rebuttal, stating she denies all accusations and will only address them broadly due to an ongoing university grievance process.
The inquiry’s chair defended the process, saying it upheld witness protections and provided the university a right to respond.
