The Anti-Discrimination Office is a student-run, self-organized documentation and reporting office for all cases of discrimination related to racism at the University of Cologne.
Our goal is to show the university that racist discrimination also exists at the University of Cologne. This racist discrimination can show itself in different ways. For example, direct racist discrimination against a person or group of people or indirectly through the use of racist teaching content in courses. In order to point this out and make it visible, we need the support of all students.
It is important to mention that the respective contact persons are BIPoC students and cannot offer psychological support. Students seeking support in this area should contact Jessie Mmari, from our Racism-critical consultation.
To report a case, email us at easing-bipoc@uni-koeln.de or use the reporting form below. Please include your self-positioning (e.g. Black, Indigenous, Person of Color, white, and more). Please also indicate if you are/were affected by the discrimination yourself or if it is an indirect incident, e.g. discrimination occurred in a course but you were not affected by it yourself.
