Topic: equal treatment

The University of Tartu is recruiting an equality officer to support university members in cases of unequal treatment and ensure a fair and professional handling of such cases.

All Estonian public universities will celebrate Diversity Week from 5–11 May for the second year. This year’s focus is on encouraging people to notice and to act.

To ensure equal treatment at universities, it is necessary to develop the organisational culture, change the system for dealing with incidents, increase staff awareness, and develop the ability to spot unequal treatment and the courage to intervene, wrote Ester Oras and Kristi Kuningas in ERR.

Now, the internal reporting channel of the University of Tartu in FaceUp can be used to send breach reports confidentially and, if requested, anonymously. It is no longer possible to report by email.
