Complaints
Sexual harassment, discrimination und bullying goes against the values of the University of Vienna and will not be tolerated. Every person at the University of Vienna has a right to the protection and preservation of their personal boundaries.
Making a formal complaint allows the University of Vienna to take action against the transgressive behaviour. The University of Vienna can only act, take remedial steps and respond to proven violations with disciplinary action under student regulations or the service code if it is informed of misconduct.
