Personal Integrity

The University of Basel sees itself as an organization that values the different experiences and perspectives of its members and promotes their diverse strengths, regardless of age, religion, gender, gender identity, cultural background, language, social or professional status, lifestyle, political conviction, sexual orientation or disability.

To ensure protection of personal integrity, the Personal Integrity Coordination Office functions as an easily accessible, confidential and personal point of contact, offering advice and support for university staff and students whose personal integrity has been violated. Personal assistance is provided during clarification and investigation procedures and is supplemented by solution-oriented and supportive measures, if necessary.

Preventative measures are of great importance for the protection of personal integrity in a respectful working environment. For this reason, we are optimizing the existing range of information and developing a target-group-specific training program that defines the university’s code of values regarding expected, problematic and unacceptable behavior.
