Anti-Discrimination Policy

Policy created (2010)

Policy reviewed (2022)

At Oum El-Bouaghi University, we are committed to maintaining a campus environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and prejudice. We believe in fostering a community that values diversity, respects individual rights, and promotes equal opportunities for all members, regardless of their race, color, national origins, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.

Our Anti-Discrimination Policy serves as a guiding framework to ensure that all members of our university community, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors, are treated with dignity and fairness. Discrimination in any form, including but not limited to acts of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or ableism, will not be tolerated.

Key principles of our Anti-Discrimination Policy include:

  • Equal Treatment: We are committed to treating all individuals with respect and providing equal opportunities for personal and professional development.
  • Non-Discrimination: We do not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics, as outlined in national and international legislation.
  • Inclusive Environment: We strive to create an inclusive and welcoming campus environment that promotes diversity and understanding among all members of our community.
  • Support and Reporting Mechanisms: We provide accessible and confidential reporting mechanisms for incidents of discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment. We offer support services and resources to individuals who have experienced discrimination or require assistance.
  • Education and Awareness: We conduct regular educational programs, workshops, and awareness campaigns to promote understanding, challenge stereotypes, and foster a culture of inclusivity.
  • Accountability: We will investigate all reports of discrimination promptly and take appropriate action, including disciplinary measures, against individuals found responsible for discriminatory behavior.

Our commitment to anti-discrimination is integral to our mission of creating a respectful and inclusive academic environment that values diversity and nurtures the personal and intellectual growth of every member of our community. Together, we can build a university that embraces diversity and champions equality for all.
