We take action

• We actively fulfil our shared responsibility towards the society in which we live.
• In an interconnected world, challenges can only be resolved through peaceful international cooperation. We take a firm stand against all forms of nationalism.
• We are committed to ensuring that people are not disadvantaged or defamed because of their skin colour, origin, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
• We are not prepared to tolerate discussions that are devoid of facts or based on resentment.

What to do in the face of discrimination?

Do not ignore or brush aside discrimination; stand up for yourself:

• Make your position clear and signal that such behaviour is unacceptable.
• Document instances of discrimination in writing (particularly in cases of sexual harassment).
• Speak to people you trust, or to the student body, the relevant lecturers and the appropriate counselling service about these negative experiences.
