John XXIII College (ANU)

John XXIII College is a residential college of the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, Australia. The College houses over 315 students, most of whom are undergraduates. It is one of only two independent residential colleges at the ANU, the other being Burgmann College.

Description
John XXIII College is located on the Australian National University's campus, on Daley Road between Burgmann College and Ursula Hall.

The college was named after Pope John XXIII and was officially opened in 1969 by the then Minister for Education and Science, Malcolm Fraser. Originally established as an all-male institution, the college became co-educational in 1976. Its motto is "Veritas Vi Veritatis" which means "Truth will conquer". Its coat of arms incorporates features of Pope John XXIII's shield and heraldic devices of the family of St. Dominic, and it is coloured blue and white to represent its proximity to Sullivan's Creek.

The college is fully catered (21 meals a week) and includes the following student facilities: computer lab; music rooms; study room; common rooms; bike sheds; laundry facilities and "The Tavern", a fully-licensed bar located onsite.

Controversies
John XXIII College has previously been the subject of controversy, attributed to the college's culture and a lack of responsibility taken by college staff and leadership.

In 2016, 14 residents were found to be involved in an online group which allegedly shared pictures taken of other ANU students' breasts and rated them amongst themselves. This led to five residents being expelled and the others receiving disciplinary treatment. In 2017, the college suspended four residents during orientation week for chanting sexually inappropriate rhymes about "nailing" women.

In a 2019 report by the Nous Group which was commissioned by the ANU in response to one of the recommendations in a 2017 Human Rights Commission report, John XXIII College, along with almost all other residential colleges at ANU, received the lowest possible rating for their management of sexual assault and harassment.

In 2020, a former student successfully sued the college for breaching its duty of care when she was sexually assaulted during a college bar-hopping tradition called "pub golf". The college, including head of college, Geoff Johnston, was found to have inadequately addressed the victim's complaints. The victim was awarded over $400,000 in damages as well as legal fees. In November 2021, the college appealed against the ruling.

Pontifex
Pontifex was the college's periodic newsletter, named for the college's namesake. Its first edition was published in 1978 and reported on the goings-on within the college and other relevant stories.

The Pelican
Pontifex was replaced by a bi-annual magazine called The Pelican in 2021 which provides a summary of the various activities, events and achievements which occurred in the past semester, as well as stories and other entries from alumni of the college. The first issue of the magazine was released in June/July 2021.
