This anti-discriminatory attitude is reflected in the working and study conditions at Paderborn University and is manifested in the self-imposed guideline "Guidelines for respectful cooperation and protection against disadvantage, discrimination, sexualised violence and bullying at Paderborn University". This emphasises the importance of non-discriminatory and respectful interaction between all members of the university on campus.

In addition, there are already contact persons and contact points for the topic of (anti-)discrimination in many fields at Paderborn University. Examples include the Equal Opportunities Officer, the Staff Council for Technical and Administrative Employees, the Academic Staff Council, the Disabled Persons' Representative Council, the Student Union, the Central Student Advisory Service and the Complaints Office in accordance with Section 13 AGG. As a rule, these contact persons or counselling services are explicitly responsible for a specific dimension of discrimination or for a status group. The Diversity Officer is also the contact person for questions relating to the topic of diversity (promotion) and offers counselling in cases of discrimination as well as for the diversity-friendly design of everyday work and study life.
