A Melbourne university student has claimed a bully crept through her bedroom window in the middle of the night and threw raw meat at her while she was sleeping.
Melis Layik studies law and global studies at Monash University in Melbourne, and says she is no longer comfortable living at one of the university’s residential colleges.
The 18-year-old said a bully threw livers and offal on her as she slept and left a horse’s heart at her bedroom door at Mannix College, while also calling her a ‘stupid vegan’.

‘In many messages and posts he mentioned my veganism and referred to me as a “stupid vegan”.’
She said she doesn’t know why the man has targeted her for harassment.
‘It seemed to be a random series of attacks which made it all the more upsetting and confusing.
‘I had multiple meetings with the administration requesting that they do something but they simply shrugged me off and told me that they had spoken with him.
She said the harassment made her feel so uncomfortable that she had to move out of the residential college
She said she was disheartened at how her complaint was dismissed by the university
She has since moved out of the college.
‘They closed the matter three weeks ago and I felt too uncomfortable so I moved out.
‘It was really quite disheartening how they flippantly dismissed the situation.’
She said Mannix College only agreed to investigate the issue once contacted by media.
