President's Office sets up "Special Anti-Discrimination Commission"

Thursday 22 June 2023

Following the current allegations against a professor at the university, the President's Office formed a "Special Anti-Discrimination Commission" on Tuesday. This commission will first deal with the current incidents and allegations of discrimination and soon submit a report to the university management.

With the help of the findings, the university's diversity system will then be further developed. The Vice President for Internationalisation and Diversity, Professor Jürgen Bode, will chair this commission. The other internal and external members are to be appointed soon.

In addition, the President's Office has appointed a Presidential Commissioner for Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Racism. At the suggestion of the President, Sarah Friedrichs, the Head of Diversity Management, will take on this office. She is to strengthen the diversity and anti-discrimination work of H-BRS and, among other things, improve the structure of the contact points. She is the contact person for both students and employees. You can reach her, for example, by email to sarah.friedrichs@h-brs.de.

Our credo: respectful cooperation, appreciation of diversity, no discrimination
