In cases of discrimination, violence, bullying
The trusted lecturer are responsible for discrimination in all applicable areas, such as discrimination based on skin colour, ethnic origin, religion, gender, age and sexual orientation.
They can initially be contacted by e-mail or post. They then decide whether a procedure is necessary and whether they are competent in the case. Subsequently, a separate hearing of the parties takes place combined with the search for an amicable solution. If this is not successful, the matter is referred to higher university authorities.
All messages or enquiries are treated with absolute confidentiality! After an initial contact by e-mail, a personal meeting can be arranged. Confidentiality remains assured as long as it is desired and possible.
