Contact person for anti-discrimination and anti-Semitism
Independent contact person for anti-discrimination N.N. (pursuant to Art. 25 BayHIG)
Coburg University of Applied Sciences attaches great importance to fair and respectful interaction with one another. All persons at the university – students as well as university employees – are called upon to work together respectfully at all levels and to cultivate a culture of respect. Coburg University of Applied Sciences does not tolerate violence, harassment or direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, gender, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual identity. For this reason, the university established this position.
The tasks include:
- Confidential initial and referral counseling in all cases of discrimination,
- Advice, receipt, fact-finding and coordination in formal complaints proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG)
- Development of preventive and curative measures to raise awareness and avoid discrimination of all kinds.
- Creation of an anti-discrimination guideline. This sets out recommendations and options for action in the event of behavior that violates boundaries. Among other things, the anti-discrimination guideline names contact points for those affected and those seeking help and regulates the handling of complaints.
The contact person for anti-discrimination is also the contact person for all members of the university if they are confronted with anti-Semitism.
