For a safe university

8.1 For a safe study environment

The Independent Student wants:
– Regular testing of safety procedures in buildings;
– More awareness on confidential advisors;
– More attention to sexual harassment;

The university should be a safe environment to study. In the past, buildings of the university failed to meet the safety standards. The Independent Students wants all buildings to be safe. Therefore, safety procedures should be regularly tested and inspections on fire hazards should take place regularly.

If you have serious issues and need someone to talk about, the university provides confidential advisors. However, this great service from the university seems to be unknown with many students. The Independent Student wants all students to be informed of the possibility the University of Groningen offers to speak with a confidential advisor.

Sexual harassment is unacceptable. Especially in an academic environment, students should be safe. Such an environment requires an active contribution from all those enrolled at the university. Unwelcome behavior should always be addressed, whether by speaking to the person directly or by calling in a third party.
