The Equality Commission is composed of the Faculty Gender Equality Officers as representatives of the faculties as well as the central Gender Equality Officer and her deputies. The Equality Commission advises the Senate on gender equality issues.
The Office for Gender Equality seeks to continuously improve the general structural conditions for equality in the academic world and develops policies that support this process.
