What does "neutrality" mean - defencelessness against right-wing extremist and anti-democratic movements, language bans, objectivity of science, space for all opinions, moderation under civil service law, party-political abstinence, standing up for pluralistic democracy? Prof. Dr Ulrike Lembke sets out the current legal situation and discusses possible courses of action.

On the occasion of Brandenburg Women's Weeks 2026, the Equal Opportunities Office at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg cordially invites you to two exciting workshops with vocal coach and anti-discrimination trainer Andrzej Profus, who will offer students and staff support in dealing with discriminatory structures and help them find their own voice (again).
