UQ chancellor Peter Varghese says he is concerned with the outcome of the disciplinary action against student activist Drew Pavlou

A student activist highly critical of the University of Queensland’s ties to Beijing has been handed down a two-year suspension from the institution.

Drew Pavlou faced a disciplinary hearing on 20 May at the university over 11 allegations of misconduct, detailed in a confidential 186-page document, reportedly linked to his on-campus activism supporting Hong Kong and criticising the Chinese Communist Party.
