Dears!
The student union is currently looking for 2 members as student representatives in the Equal Opportunity Team.
The Equal Opportunities team consists of 12 main and 12 alternate members, including artistic-scientific staff, administrative staff and students.
According to the Austrian Universities Act, the Equal Opportunities Team has the task of counteracting discrimination by university bodies on the grounds of gender, ethnic affiliation, religion or other belief, age or sexual orientation, and of supporting and counselling both university members and bodies in such matters. Additionally, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna has implemented an Anti-discriminatory Works-Council Agreement.
In case of discrimination, which includes verbal discouragement and sexual harassment, this team offers students, administrative employees and teaching staff information, confidential counseling and help. If there is reasonable suspicion of discrimination, the Equal Opportunities Team is obliged to intervene e.g. in recruiting matters. Moreover, it organizes presentations and workshops, and develops strategies for implementing anti-discriminatory practices and for raising awareness among colleagues. Here you can find more information on the EOC: https://www.akbild.ac.at/en/university/equal-opportunities-team/tasks-and-fi...
Your tasks would be to participate in complaint cases, professorship committees and, if you are interested, take part in the monthly meetings – for all of which you would get a small function fee. Working language is GERMAN (as the Equal Opportunities Team has to deal a lot with legal stuff).
If you are interested in participating for a year or more pls send a message to oeh@akbild.ac.atmailto:oeh@akbild.ac.at.
