10.6.4 Anti-Discrimination Policy

IGU upholds a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of discrimination and recognizes that all individuals possess equal rights. The university is firmly committed to providing a fair, inclusive, and safe environment for all students and employees—regardless of language, religion, race, ethnic origin, gender, age, disability status, socioeconomic background, or political opinion.

This approach is guaranteed not only through institutional policies but also under the laws of the Republic of Türkiye:
 

In addition to this legal framework, IGU has implemented its own institutional regulations. In particular, the Respect for Diversity Policy, Policy of Equal Opportunity, Gender Equality Policy and Human Rights, Rule of Law and Justice Policy, together form a strong institutional foundation for combating discrimination.

Within the scope of this policy, transparent application and complaint mechanisms are actively implemented, and regular awareness trainings are conducted. In cases of discrimination, both students and employees can submit their complaints directly through the IGUMER system. Managed by the Dean of Students this platform ensures that complaints, requests, and suggestions are transparently recorded, reviewed, and resolved, serving as a key institutional mechanism in the fight against discrimination.

Additionally, the system is audited annually by independent external reviewers, ensuring that the process is carried out transparently and fairly. IGU approaches anti-discrimination efforts not only as a protective but also as a preventive process, providing an equitable, inclusive, and safe university environment for all students and employees.
