Stan Grant quits job as head of university's media integrity department... just six months after leaving ABC's Q+A

Former host of Q+A Stan Grant has stepped down from his role Monash University, just six months after taking up the position.

'Grant has made the difficult decision to step down from his role at the Constructive Institute Asia Pacific in the Faculty of Arts, a mission he remains passionately committed to,' she began. His most recent high-profile role was as host of Q+A from 2022 to 2023 until he stepped away saying he was fed-up with racial abuse directed at him by online commenters as well as dissatisfaction with the media landscape in general. 'Journalism has been part of the problem, but I still think words matter and my promise to readers is that my columns will look to a shared humanity, to a commitment to justice, and stand with the afflicted in generosity and love.'
