What is discrimination? Who can I turn to for help? These are just some of the questions that students of the University of Bucharest can now find answers to in the guide entitled “Combating Discrimination in the University.” („Combaterea Discriminării în Universitate”).
The guide provides students with essential information for identifying, understanding, and addressing discrimination in the academic environment. Presented in an accessible format, the document covers the following topics:
The definition of discrimination and the discrimination criteria provided for in national legislation
The places and contexts in which discrimination may occur
The rights of the student community and the steps to follow in situations of discrimination
The institutions and services that can be contacted, both within the University of Bucharest and externally
Ways of supporting individuals who are experiencing discrimination
The guide was developed as part of the project “Together for an Inclusive Society. Aware and Active Students Against Discrimination,” supported by a grant from the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, CNCS/CCCDI – UEFISCDI (Project no. 20PHE/2023, code PN-IV-P8-8.1-PRE-HE-ORG-2023-0060), within PNCDI IV. The University of Bucharest was also awarded for its participation in the UNDETERRED – UNintentional Discrimination dETEcted and Racism REvealed and Deactivated project, funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme. The authors of the guide are Simona Necula, Cristina Oprea, Ionela Băluță, and Larissa Luică.
Through this initiative, the University of Bucharest creates a new framework for raising awareness of and recognizing discrimination, while also providing tools for its prevention and sanctioning. The guide is available in Romanian, English, and French.
The UNDETERRED awards project has the following institutional partners: the Research Center for the Foundations of European Modernity (University of Bucharest), the Center for Equal Opportunities Policies (CPES) (University of Bucharest), FILIA Center, and the Center for the Comparative Study of Migration, Cluj-Napoca.
