Where and to whom does the policy apply?

The policy applies to all

• students
• employees
• apprentices
• doctoral candidates
• teaching staff
• private teaching staff and honorary professors
• visiting and exchange students
• participants in affiliated educational programs, and
• third parties, e.g. guests, contractual partners or suppliers, if at least one person involved is a member of or affiliated with the university

The policy applies to the entire university context. Specifically, this means that the policy applies to the entire university campus and all the university’s off-campus locations. The policy covers business trips and university events (both digital and in-person). It can also be applied to discriminatory behavior outside the university context if these activities take place in the context of an existing university work, training, or teaching contract. This also includes digital communication channels (e.g. chats, social media) and phone calls.
