Anonymous reporting of discrimination and everyday experiences

We want to promote respectful and appreciative cooperation at our faculty. This also includes drawing attention to the often overlooked “small” forms of discrimination. For example, when mixed seminar groups are addressed exclusively with “Good morning, gentlemen.”

With this anonymous form, we offer you the opportunity to report such incidents in an uncomplicated and confidential manner. Your contribution helps us to raise awareness of everyday discrimination and to develop targeted measures to improve the social climate.

Please also share positive experiences!

We would also be delighted to hear about successful, appreciative behavior or examples of best practice from university life. Positive experiences show how respectful interaction can succeed and can serve as role models for others.

IMPORTANT: What is this service and what is it not?

  • This form is used exclusively for the anonymous recording of incidents and positive examples.
  • It is NOT an official complaint procedure.
  • There is NO case review or initial consultation.
  • No individuals can be reported using this form.
  • Your information will remain anonymous and will be used exclusively to raise awareness and improve our social interaction.

What happens to your information?

The reports we receive will be collected and evaluated to identify patterns and highlight problems and positive experiences. This will enable us to work together to make our faculty a safer and more respectful place for all members.
