Notes on gender-sensitive language

Language influences the images we have in our heads. Language influences our thoughts and actions. The Brandenburg Higher Education Act (BbgHG) already incorporated this important fact into the text of the law in 2014. In accordance with § 7 (6) BbgHG and in implementation of the BTU's equality concept, the Senate took note of and approved a guideline on the use of gender-sensitive language in 2017. The guideline is based on the gender-sensitive writing recommended by the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency.
