Diversity Officers at the University of Greifswald

The General Equal Treatment Act (AGG), which came into force in 2006, aims to prevent and eliminate discrimination and disadvantages. The University of Greifswald defines the protected characteristics broadly. The university's own policy goes beyond the AGG and protects its members within its sphere of influence in particular against discrimination on the grounds of ethnic origin, gender and gender identity, religion or world view, physical or mental disability and chronic illness, age, sexual orientation, nationality, marital status, social status or external appearance.

The responsibilities for the Diversity Officers at the University of Greifswald are distributed as follows:

For the grounds of discrimination listed in the AGG, there is the Contact Person for Protection against Discrimination at the University. The current contact person is Katharina Ruffer. The issue of gender-based discrimination (discrimination on the basis of gender, gender identity or sexual orientation) has a special status, for which the Central Gender Equality Officer, Ruth Terodde, is responsible.
