Respect for different opinions and a respectful tone of communication at Danish universities
Announcement from SDU’s management.
We are all deeply affected by the dreadful conflict currently unfolding in the Middle East. This can be seen and felt in the Danish universities. In recent days and weeks, the notice boards at a number of universities have been used to post political messages addressing the conflict.
The conflict has provoked strong emotions, and everyone has the right to express themselves within the limits of the law. But everyone also has a responsibility to conduct themselves with decency and maintain a respectful tone at the universities. Even when discussing difficult topics.
We do not accept harassment, intimidation, and threats against others with whom you disagree. Our universities must be safe, secure places to work and study for all. Even for those you disagree with. We reject any form of anti-Semitism in the same way that we reject all forms of hate speech that denigrate individuals or groups on the basis of their faith, race, and ethnic or national background.
At the same time, we uphold freedom of expression and the individual’s right to exercise that freedom. Freedom of expression is a fundamental right in Denmark. This means that students and staff at Danish universities may be confronted by points of view, images or graphics that may offend them. We expect all members of our university communities to respect everyone’s right to express themselves – as long as they do so within the limits of the law.
We insist on respectful behavior and communication at our universities, even when we disagree. If you experience harassment, intimidation, threats, or other unacceptable behavior, we encourage you to report this to the management.
the University of Southern Denmark’s commitment to diversity, academic excellence, and global collaboration is vividly demonstrated through its comprehensive scholarship programs. These initiatives not only provide financial support but also underscore SDU’s dedication to cultivating a rich and inclusive learning environment. As students from around the world pursue their educational goals at SDU, these scholarships serve as catalysts for fostering cross-cultural understanding and encouraging groundbreaking research.
