| Description | The legal obligation to respect the dignity of other people is enshrined in the constitution, but it is also reflected in the Law on Higher Education and Science. University statutes and strategies often refer to respect and equality between women and men. In recent years, most universities have also adopted Gender Equality Plans. It is worth knowing whether universities have an obligation to act for equal treatment, and if so, what this obligation results from. Universities present different models of institutions that care about raising the standard of equal treatment, but they have common goals that are also worth knowing about. Is it worth lobbying for these institutions to be included, for example, in the university’s statute? What are the benefits of clearly shaping these institutions in the university’s internal law? It is worth considering what impact a clear definition of their tasks and position in the university structure has on the independence of these institutions.
The training will be conducted by an expert from the Academic Network for Safety and Equality, Artur Lesner (Attorney-at-law, AGH Equality Ombudsman). |
