Anti-discrimination

The Anti-Discrimination Office of the Student Council for Political Science/Social Studies

Our anti-discrimination office

The issue of anti-discrimination concerns us all. We are aware that unfortunately sexual, trans- and homophobic, ableist, religious, racist and ethnic discrimination can occur in the university context. In order to make studying successful, the tasks of a student council include not only organizing parties and other events, but also taking responsibility towards students and those affected by such discrimination. 

That is why we, as the student council of political science/social studies, have created a separate department for any kind of discrimination.

Our work

We would like to be a support for you and encourage you to seek help if you have had to suffer traumatic and discriminatory experiences. We are available as a student council to speak for you, to accompany you, to mediate and to support you. The absolute priority of our two anti-discrimination representatives is the protection and well-being of those affected, ensuring anonymity and absolute discretion. 

If you or people around you have experienced discrimination, be it in an (online) seminar, in the hallway of the university or in other university-related events, you can always contact us. We take care of the incident so that those affected are not alone with their situation.

    Lukas Schulze I'm Lukas, 24 years old, my pronouns are he/him and I'm studying to be a teacher with the subjects social studies and biology. I think that all students at FSU should be able to spend their time here free from discrimination of any kind. This includes preventive engagement, for example in the form of awareness work. I would like to contribute to this in the Anti-Discrimination Office and am always available to help.
