Description
<p>On the 31 August 2018, the Council of the University of Newcastle (Australia) resolved to revoke the honorary Master of Arts degree awarded to Father Peter Brock in 1987 and also the 1989 Newton-John Alumni Award that was awarded to Father Brock in 1990, in response to a complaint following the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle acknowledgment in September 2017 that Father Brock was the subject of substantiated abuse claims. The church report found he "engaged in a range and pattern of behaviours" and that "That range and pattern of behaviour constituted sexual misconduct as defined by the NSW Ombudsman Act 1974," Father Brock's name has been removed from a list of Newton-John award recipients since 1977 who have achieved excellence in arts, creative sectors and culture. Through this action, The University of Newcastle recognises the distress caused to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse, and their families, and seeks to acknowledge and respect their wishes.</p> <p><a href="https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/5639989/university-revokes-late-priests-awards-after-abuse-claims-substantiated/">https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/5639989/university-revokes-late-priests-awards-after-abuse-claims-substantiated/</a></p> <p>This image was scanned from a photograph in the University's historical photographic collection held by Special Collections.</p> <p>If you would like to comment on the photograph, please <a href="mailto:archives@newcastle.edu.au">contact us</a> or leave a Recollection using <a href="http://livinghistories.newcastle.edu.au/nodes/view/67980">these instructions</a>.</p>
