Diversity and anti-discrimination
Diversity at the HNU
The University of Applied Sciences in Neu-Ulm (HNU) promotes diversity and appreciation. All employees and students should experience this appreciation - regardless of age, ethnic origin and nationality, gender and gender identity, physical and mental abilities, religion and world view, sexual orientation and social origin.
The HNU creates the conditions for employees and students to recognize, share and live these values. On this page, we would like to keep you up to date on the activities that have already been carried out and those that are planned for the future.

Anti-discrimination at the HNU
Anti-discrimination policy
The HNU does not tolerate discrimination, use of force, harassment or direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of racial origin, gender, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual identity (cross-border misconduct).
Therefore, the HNU has established an anti-discrimination policy that details how to proceed in the event of any incidents of discrimination. The full anti-discrimination policy can be found below.

Inclusive communication at the HNU
In order to create a non-discriminatory environment, HNU would also like to use language that is as inclusive as possible in its communication. The HNU guidelines for inclusive communication provide guidance in this regard.
No tolerance for anti-Semitism
Like all Bavarian universities, HNU is firmly opposed to all forms of anti-Semitism and wishes to remain a place of diversity and tolerance. To ensure that Jewish and Israeli students and staff continue to feel safe, an anti-Semitism representative has been appointed.
