The University of Oldenburg has set up a diversity committee to advise, support and assist the presidential board in dealing with diversity as a cross-sectional task. The diversity committee is made up of representatives from various organizational units and thus provides a forum for initiating, planning and coordinating diversity activities. 

By managing and coordinating the committee, the presidential board assumes permanent responsibility for dealing with diversity as part of the university's organizational development. Through the involvement of diversity representatives, officers and interest groups, the perspectives of various member and stakeholder groups at the University of Oldenburg are included. For example, representatives of the staff council, the representative for persons with severe disabilities, the committee for gender equality and the student council and its autonomous departments perform an important interface function in the committee.
