LGBTIQ+ Campus Ranking 2021: 2. Platz für die MLU
Icon: LGBTIQ+ Ranking
[Image description: on a white background it says "LGBTIQ+ Campus Index" in black letters, to the left is a red square with a white "P" inside.]
The LGBTIQ+ News & Networking Community Proudr published the LGBTIQ+ Campus Index for Germany, Austria and Switzerland for the first time in June 2021. The index aims to make visible how LGBTIQ+ diversity is lived at universities, colleges and academies in the DACH region. It is intended to provide prospective students and students with guidance on LGBTIQ+ inclusive campus cultures and enables higher education institutions to gain insights into their commitment to more appreciation on their campuses and to compare themselves with other educational institutions.
The ranking was based on self-reporting by universities using an extensive questionnaire on the following sets of questions:
- Communication and commitment to LGBTIQ+ (MLU: 96%).
- Protection against discrimination of LGBTIQ+ (MLU: 88.6%)
- Expertise, promotion and consultation (MLU: 75%)
- Structures and LGBTIQ+ diversity management (MLU: 81%)
- Initiatives, engagement and other offerings (MLU: 100%).
In 2021, 62 universities participated. The index is led by the University of Cologne, followed by the University of Halle. Of the 62 participating universities, 14 scored more than 60% on the audit. Three universities scored above 80%. MLU's responses scored 86.2%. Large institutions (more than 1,500 students) scored higher on average than smaller institutions. Prof. Dr. Christian Tietje, Rector of MLU, explains the motivation for participating in the ranking, saying that it was a very good opportunity for the university to show its commitment to date and also to find out where it could do even better.

At the MLU
Arbeitskreis que(e)r_einsteigen |
Originally, the idea for que(e)r_einsteigen arose in the summer semester of 2007 from the seminar "Civilized Bodies, Perverted Realities - An Introduction to Queer Theory" at MLU. Since then, events on queer topics have been organized every year with a changing staff: Lectures, worshops, movie nights, parties.... Since January 2012 que(e)r_einsteigen is a permanent working group of the student council of MLU.
The working group understands "queer" less as a static role ("being queer"), but rather as an active process ("acting queer"). This means for a person to be themselves and to accept and acknowledge themselves and others in their diversity, so that every person has the possibility to live an authentic life. Queer action, in that sense, means being mindful and caring of each other and supporting each other in diversity. This also includes creating safe places for those who are still socially denied to live their identity openly and safely.
The working group would like to carry this attitude to the outside world and do (political) educational work with its events in order to make diverse perspectives visible. At this point, it sees the need to expand MLU's course offerings in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary way and wants to open up a more everyday approach to diversity in addition to the academic one, giving space to a wide variety of people and topics.

Mit Sicherheit verliebt |
Logo Mit Sicherheit verliebt
"Mit Sicherheit verliebt" ist ein studentisches Sexualaufklärungsprojekt, das Schüler*innen der Jahrgangsstufe 7 bis 10 unterstützt, eine selbstbestimmte und reflektierte (gesunde) Beziehung zu ihrer Sexualität zu entwickeln. Zu diesem Zweck verbringen Studierende Projekttage mit den Jugendlichen, in denen sie diese ganzheitlich über Pubertät, das erste Mal, Verhütungsmittel, Pornographie, sexuelle Vielfalt usw. aufklären. Die Themen werden spielerisch und auf Augenhöhe vermittelt. Durch die geringe Altersdifferenz wird eine lockere Umgebung geschaffen, in der sich die Schüler*innen trauen wichtige Fragen zu stellen und ihnen Rede und Antwort gestanden wird.
"Mit Sicherheit Verliebt" ist ein Projekt der Bundesvertretung der Medizinstudierenden in Deutschland e.V. und wurde 2001 in Anwesenheit der damals amtierenden Bundesgesundheitsministerin Andrea Fischer gegründet. Seitdem ist das Präventionsprojekt tief in der Arbeit der Medizinstudierendenvertretung verankert und verbindet verschiedene medizinische Fakultäten Deutschlands.

Die MLU legt Wert auf einen diskriminierungs- und gewaltfreien Umgang miteinander, eine gleichberechtigte und vertrauensvolle Zusammenarbeit sowie gute Arbeits- und Studienbedingungen. Daher hat sie sich eine Richtlinie zum Schutz vor Diskriminierung, (sexueller) Belästigung und Gewalt gegeben und eine Präventionsstelle geschaffen. Ihre Aufgabe ist, die Umsetzung der Richtlinie aktiv zu unterstützen und bestehende Verfahrenswege zu optimieren, um einen wirksamen Schutz vor Diskriminierung, (sexueller) Belästigung und Gewalt sowie die fachkundige Unterstützung betroffener Personen sicherzustellen.
Hierzu zählen die Konzeption von Weiterbildungsformaten und zielgruppenspezifischer Öffentlichkeitsarbeit sowie die Förderung der universitätsinternen und -externen Vernetzung im Bereich Diskriminierungsprävention und Opferberatung.
Die Präventionsstelle ist Beratungs- und Unterstützungsstelle für LSBTIQ*-Personen, die in universitären Kontexten Diskriminierung erleben. Sie ist für LSBTIQ*-Themen sensibilisiert und unter anderem Teil des Sprechendenteams der bukof-Kommission "Queere Hochschulpolitik" .

Queer-friendly doctors and therapists
For many people from the LGBTIQ community and also other groups who have to deal with everyday discrimination, it is still often a problem to seek medical help. Especially in a dependency situation towards medical professionals and therapists, it is important to be able to trust the people with the medical training and not have to fear experiences of discrimination. The project Queermed Germany therefore collects recommendations from the community nationwide and makes them accessible.
This project is not a project of the University of Halle and the given recommendations are not checked by us.
