A damning review into ANU's College of Health and Medicine has revealed a dysfunctional culture of bullying, sexism, unfair workloads and nepotism.
The independent review into gender and cultural issues, sparked by reports of harm from staff and students, found harassment and bullying were "widespread practices", with little or no consequences.
Professor Christine Nixon was tasked with investigating gender and cultural issues at the college and its constituent schools.
"Staff and students told me about inflexible work practices, unfair workloads, bullying and discrimination," Professor Nixon said in a letter to the ANU.
"Some of the stories shared with me were very distressing. Others were enraging."
