University Complaints Office for Discrimination Cases
University members can submit formal complaints for cases of discrimination to the University Complaints Office for Discrimination Cases (Beschwerdestelle). The University Complaints Office will then review the issue. If the allegation of discrimination is confirmed, the University Complaints Office will propose appropriate measures or sanctions. The University Complaints Office operates based on the »General Act on Equal Treatment« (AGG) and the »Guidelines for Protection Against Discrimination of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in accordance with the AGG«. The Complaints Office receives complaints based on the legal provisions, in particular regarding racial discrimination, discrimination based on ethnic origin, gender, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual identity.
We strongly recommend that you contact one of the counselling service centres as a first step before initiating a formal complaints procedure.
The University Complaints Office procedures are outlined in the »Rules of Procedure«.
