As a public institution of higher education with social responsibility, Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences fosters and calls for a culture of tolerance, equal opportunity, and diversity in line with its mission statement.
Accordingly, respectful interaction and acceptance of differing opinions form the foundation of our collaboration. We take a zero-tolerance stance on all forms of discrimination and psychological or physical violence; we will prosecute such acts with due consequence.
We act decisively and do not hesitate to initiate criminal proceedings.
Our position vis-à-vis global crises and armed conflicts is based on our rejection of violence and our values of tolerance and diversity. We encourage all university faculty members to take a nuanced and critical approach when dealing with information and sources, to stand up resolutely for the university as a place of democratic culture and peaceful dialogue, and to take a firm stand against any form of discrimination – both inside and outside the university.
Human dignity is inviolable.
