In solidarity with Ukraine

The continuing conflict in Ukraine is abhorrent and unjustified. The University of Auckland stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and all those affected by the conflict and growing humanitarian crisis.

We have students and staff from both Ukraine and Russia in our University community, and we acknowledge the impact this conflict is having on them all. At this difficult time, it is important that we continue to treat all our colleagues with kindness and respect.

As befits our role as ‘critic and conscience of society’, many of our academic staff members are also providing expert commentary and critical analysis of the situation in Ukraine.

Affected students are being supported through the Student Emergency Fund. Support is also available from Te Papa Manaaki Campus Care. 

Staff affected by the crisis may seek support from our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
