The Stockholm University Library aims to be free from discrimination, harassment and other degrading treatment. In our work, we follow all the guidelines and recommendations that Stockholm University provides.
Administrative procedures
On August 22, 2019 the President of Stockholm University approved the Procedure for discrimination complaints relating to students. According to the Discrimination Act, all institutions at the University are to have clear information regarding the handling of cases in which employees or students consider themselves victims of discrimination. If your case concerns discrimination at an institution other than Stockholm University Library, please contact the department to which the case relates.
Administrative procedure for students
- The student reports that he/she considers himself/herself as having been exposed to discrimination.
- The contact person responsible for the matter is the Library Director, Wilhelm Widmark.
- The case is handled so that the manager of the library will contact the notifying party to investigate the matter and, where appropriate, the University's Equality Coordinator for further action.
- The case is also reported to the University’s security section for possible action.
- Students who feel discriminated against can also seek support from the Stockholm University Student Union and Student Health Unit.
Concerning questions related to equal rights and opportunities the person responsible is the Library Director, wilhelm.widmark@su.se
Information regarding the administrative procedures for discrimination and harassment, in addition to information concerning equal rights and opportunities, is accessible for students through the University´s website.
