Australia: Men's course about health, not anti-feminism: UniSA

Article here. Excerpt:

'THE University of South Australia says its new course on male health has nothing to do with so-called extreme anti-feminist views, and contradicts claims in The Advertiser newspaper that two US-based men's rights advocates are involved in the course.

A spokeswoman for the university said a suite of male studies courses potentially involving both US advocates had been proposed by university staff in 2012, but had been rejected by the university in September that year following an academic review.

“Any future courses would need to go through the same formal approval process, in accordance with university policy, that involves consideration of academic merit and quality, and community benefit and viability,” the spokeswoman said in a statement to the HES.

The $1800 online certificate course in 'male health and male health promotion' is aimed at health and allied health professionals.

“Contrary to its description in some media reports, the certificate is framed for people already working in the health and allied health sectors, and has been developed by and will be taught by University of South Australia staff only,” UniSA said.'
