A non-discriminatory workplace forms the basis for respectful and productive cooperation. In a diverse and international environment such as OTH Regensburg, mutual respect and appreciation are essential. Any form of discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying, stalking or sexualised violence is not only a serious violation of personal rights, but also significantly impairs the working and learning environment. Such behaviour creates a toxic climate that endangers the health of those affected and reduces the quality of work.
OTH Regensburg condemns all forms of discrimination and misanthropy. We stand for respectful, tolerant and diverse coexistence in which all people can live, study and work safely and with respect. We are therefore committed to promoting a culture of trust, openness and mutual respect. Clear guidelines and preventative measures are designed to create a safe, respectful and conflict-free environment.
Discrimination refers to any form of disadvantage, degradation or unequal treatment of people or groups on the basis of certain actual or ascribed characteristics. These characteristics may relate to racial attributions, nationality or migration history, gender, religion or belief, disability or chronic illness, age or sexual identity. Discrimination manifests itself in various forms, be it through verbal or written statements or through corresponding actions. Protection against discrimination on the basis of the aforementioned characteristics is legally enshrined in the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). The AGG is intended to prevent discrimination and ensure equal treatment for all people.
