Stahrenberg, Carolin
For all members and visitors of the Anton Bruckner University. This includes, among others, applicants, students, teaching staff, employees and other persons working within the university.
The non-discrimination commission is an elected university committee. The commission includes representatives of the students, lecturers and employees who are committed to equal treatment and equality at the Anton Bruckner University.
Anytime. Reasons to contact the AKG can be:
- if I have the impression that I am being disadvantaged or treated unfairly,
- if I experience discrimination or sexual harassment,
- if I am being singled out or marginalized,
- if I feel that my boundaries are being crossed by others,
- if I am unable to assess the situation and would like advice, or
- if I am a witness to discrimination or sexual harassment by third parties.
No matter how small or large the experience: the members of the AKG are always willing to listen and can provide advice and, if requested by those affected, also document and accompany.
Every member and substitute member of the AKG is available and can be contacted confidentially, called or written to directly. The AKG's central mailbox (gleichbehandlungtyrbrucknerunirat) is also available.
The ombudsperson Carolin Stahrenberg is available to answer questions regarding sexual harassment and violence directly: carolin.stahrenbergtyrbrucknerunirat.
Usually, an initial appointment is arranged first, which can take place in person or online. During the conversation, the situation, individual goals and possible approaches are discussed.
Yes. Those who turn to the AKG are always in control of whether and when steps are taken and who is involved in the process. The AKG derives its legitimacy to act exclusively from the people who experience discrimination. We do nothing without their consent.
If no intervention or further support is desired, there is the option of confidential documentation of the experiences.
If intervention or further support is desired, the AKG provides information about possible steps.
Witnesses who notice discrimination against third parties can, however, have their experiences documented. These reports can also be an important contribution to current or future events.
Absolutely. The members of the AKG are bound to confidentiality. All discussions are strictly confidential. This also means that individual members of the AKG will not be involved at the request of the persons concerned (for example, if they teach or study at their own institute).
Should it turn out that the non-discrimination commission cannot support you, we will try to refer you to another appropriate office.
