8.2.3 Employment policy on discrimination

IGU regards the creation of a human rights–based, safe, equitable, and inclusive working and learning environment for all employees and students as an institutional responsibility. The university operates in line with both national legislation and international principles, including the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ILO Conventions on Combating Discrimination, and the Sustainable Development Goals.

In this context, IGU has developed institutional policies aimed at preventing all forms of direct or indirect discrimination in the workplace, on campus, and in online environments, while promoting social diversity and inclusion. All human resources processes, including recruitment, career development, remuneration, promotion, training, access to services, and task allocation, are managed with a nondiscriminatory approach. We have established a safe system that evaluates all individuals solely based on competence, merit, and performance.

The following current and publicly available policies embody IGU's institutional commitment in this regard:



These policies apply to all academic, administrative, and support staff, regardless of whether they hold permanent or contractual positions, as well as all students enrolled at IGU. A zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination is adopted, and transparent internal oversight and complaint mechanisms are in place for individuals who experience discriminatory practices.

IGU positions these policies not merely as a legal obligation but as an integral part of its institutional culture, an ethical responsibility, and a fundamental component of its sustainability vision. This fosters an environment that values diversity and ensures safety and equality for all.
