The Anti-Discrimination Office at Ruhr University Bochum is the central advice, mediation and information point for students, staff and other members of the university who experience or observe discriminatory behavior and have questions or need support with regard to this issue.
Ruhr University aims to support people who have experienced discrimination to cope effectively with their experiences. The ultimate goal is to eradicate discrimination.
Ruhr University Bochum has a number of other support and counseling services in addition to the Anti-Discrimination Office.
These pages provide detailed information on discrimination as well as recommended actions for people who experience discrimination, their fellow students and colleagues as well as supervisors and lecturers.
By establishing a central anti-discrimination office, Ruhr University has set a powerful example. In addition, several legal foundations and the university’s guidelines protect employees and students from all kinds of discriminatory treatment.
