Protection against Sexual Harassment
UZH has a set of regulations to protect its staff and students against sexual harassment. While based on the assumption that all University staff and students treat each other with respect, the regulations do not mean that personal interactions at the University should be distanced, purely professional and formal. On the contrary, UZH wishes for all genders to interact in a friendly and relaxed manner. However, UZH regulations clearly state that sexual harassment is prohibited and will not be tolerated.

Please note that the regulations refer to the EDI Office by a former name: UniFrauenstelle - Gleichstellung von Frau und Mann.
