QUT can confirm that the person in the YouTube clip is a staff member. He does not associate himself with QUT in the clip.
QUT is tolerant of all religions and does not condone damage to any religious artefacts. We welcome staff and students from many countries and religions to our university and regularly celebrate their cultures and religions. QUT will seek to meet with the staff member as soon as possible to discuss the situation.
