Policy created (2010)

Policy reviewed (2025)

At Oum El-Bouaghi University, we are dedicated to upholding a campus atmosphere that is devoid of discrimination, harassment, and bias. We are committed to nurturing a community that appreciates diversity, honors individual rights, and encourages equal opportunities for every member, irrespective of their race, color, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected attribute.

Our Anti-Discrimination Policy acts as a foundational framework to guarantee that all individuals within our university community, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors, are treated with respect and equity. Discrimination in any form, including but not limited to acts of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or ableism, will not be accepted.

Key principles of our Anti-Discrimination Policy include:

• Equal Treatment : We are dedicated to ensuring that every individual is treated with dignity and is afforded equal chances for both personal and professional growth.
• Non-Discrimination : We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any type of discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics, as specified in both national and international laws.
• Inclusive Environment : Our goal is to foster a campus atmosphere that is inclusive and welcoming, encouraging diversity and understanding among all community members.
• Support and Reporting Mechanisms: We offer accessible and confidential channels for reporting incidents of discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment. Additionally, we provide support services and resources for those who have faced discrimination or need assistance.
• Education and Awareness : We regularly organize educational programs, workshops, and awareness initiatives aimed at enhancing understanding, challenging stereotypes, and cultivating a culture of inclusivity.
• Accountability : We commit to promptly investigating all discrimination reports and taking suitable actions, including disciplinary measures, against those found guilty of discriminatory conduct.

Our dedication to anti-discrimination is a fundamental aspect of our mission to establish a respectful and inclusive academic environment that appreciates diversity and fosters the personal and intellectual development of every community member. Together, we can create a university that not only embraces diversity but also advocates for it.
