HHU appoints the first anti -Semitism officer for safe campus

The Heinrich Heine University (HHU) in Düsseldorf is a strong sign against growing anti-Semitism on your campus! In a courageous decision, the university appointed the renowned social scientist and anti-Semitism researcher Heiko Beyer as the first anti-Semitism officer. This appointment comes at a critical time, since the university is committed to creating a safe environment for all students, teachers and employees, especially for Jewish members of the community.

a clear commitment to security

rector Anja Steinbeck emphasizes the importance of this measure: "The HHU should be a safe place for everyone who learns, teaching and working here - especially for Jews." Her words are a powerful appeal for hostility, exclusion and discrimination, which must not have a place at the university. The appointment of Beyer is not only a step to combat anti -Semitism, but also a signal that the university acts actively against discrimination against all kinds.

The decision to appoint an anti -Semitism representative reflects the growing concern about anti -Semitic incidents that increase in many educational institutions. With Heiko Beyer at the top, the HHU will now have the necessary resources to develop preventive measures and react to incidents. This could be an important turn in dealing with anti -Semitism at universities in Germany.
