• In its Code of Conduct R-01, CUAS explicitly proclaims the equality of all employees and students:  
    • Any form of discrimination based on ethnical affinity, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability is strictly prohibited.
    • Equal opportunities (EO) stands for just education as well as training opportunities for everyone at CUAS, no matter what background, gender, skin color, religious beliefs, disability/chronical disease, age, or sexual orientation. The key elements of EO are family-friendliness, gender mainstreaming and inclusion.
  • Gender Mainstreaming: Gender Mainstreaming means that a gender-sensitive perspective is included in all activities and initiatives at the university. To give an example, the following measures have been introduced:
    • attention to gender balance when hiring for new positions at the university
    • equal treatment and anti-discrimination as key principles in appeal proceedings
    • guideline R-05 Geschlechtersensible und diskriminierungsfreie Sprache (gender-sensitive and anti-discriminating language)
    • special support for women when studying MINT programs as well as support for men when studying social and c aretaking programs (see guideline QM-S06 Rahmenbedingungen für Studiengangs(weiter)entwicklungen an der FH Kärnten).
  • In addition, in 2016 a commissioner for equal opportunities and diversity was appointed to support (potential) students and employees.
