New Zealand Professor’s Research on CCP Influence Clears University Review
New Zealand academic Anne-Marie Brady said there was nothing to justify the “complaints,” “gagging order,” and suppression of academic freedom that she had faced for months after she coauthored a report documenting the Chinese regime’s influence operations.
The University of Canterbury (UC) said on Dec. 11 that a review of the report found that Brady and her co-authors had met the responsibilities of its policy as well as New Zealand’s 1989 Education Act.
An internal review of Brady’s report (pdf), titled “Holding a Pen in One Hand, Gripping a Gun in the Other,” was ordered by UC after she presented the paper to New Zealand’s parliament in the summer, and a number of complainants challenged certain “assertions and inferences.”
