Antidiscrimination Office of the University of Münster

The University of Münster advocates for tolerance, equality, and against discrimination. As a place of encounter, we commit ourselves to creating a safe environment through clear structures to exclude the abuse of power positions as well as unlawful unequal treatment. Students and doctoral candidates who experience, observe discrimination or have questions or need support on this topic can now turn to a contact point. Students or doctoral candidates who are also staff members of the University of Münster (e.g. student or research associates) please contact the Compliance Office, which is primarily responsible for staff.

Students and doctoral candidates can contact Dr. Birgit Maria Lachenmaier by email or telephone (Tel: +49 251 83-24836) and arrange an appointment for a personal conversation.

In confidential conversations, students and doctoral candidates seeking advice are informed about their rights and options for action and receive support in assessing their experiences. Through discretion and confidentiality, the protection of their privacy is ensured. It is ensured that no disadvantages arise from a complaint in studies. Further information can be obtained from the Student Complaints Office.
