About us: Equal Opportunities Officers of MLU

Legal represenation of interests

Equal Opportunity Officers are legal representers of interests for gender equality for all members of the university (students and stuff) (§ 72 HSG LSA).

They work for the managment of the university to take equality seriously and to implement it. They inform, advise and support with equality relevant concerns (> Activities).

Equal Opportunities Officers get elected every two years by the female members of the university. Every Member has a passive vote.

Not only the Equal Opportunities Officer of the university is elected but also the ones of the faculties and administration plus their Proxies.

The Equality Commission is the place of exchange for Equal Opportunities Officers.

The Equal Opportunities Office supports the work of the officers.

You can talk to the Equal opportunities Officer of the university and of your faculties. You can find contacts here.
