As a public institution of higher education with social responsibility, Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences promotes and demands a culture of tolerance, equal opportunities and diversity in accordance with its mission statement.

Respectful interaction with one another and acceptance of other opinions therefore form the basis of our cooperation. We firmly reject all forms of discrimination and psychological or physical violence and will consistently punish them.

We act decisively and do not hesitate to take legal action.

Our position towards all global trouble spots and armed conflicts is based on our rejection of violence and our values of tolerance and diversity. We encourage all members of the university to take a differentiated and critical approach to information and sources, to stand up resolutely for the university as a place of democratic culture and peaceful dialog and to take a firm stand against discrimination in any form, including outside the university.

Human dignity is inviolable.
