In June 2024, Rector Prof. Dr. Manfred Bayer signed the voluntary commitment "More gender equality in appointments".

The voluntary commitment is based on a resolution of the German Rectors' Conference General Assembly, in which concrete goals and fields of action as well as measures that can contribute to the realization of an institutional cultural and structural change towards more gender equality at universities are named. In doing so, the universities united in the HRK want to reaffirm their will to take the necessary steps to achieve and ensure appropriate gender representation across all subjects and levels in the long term. The Rector explicitly emphasizes that he fully supports the five goals defined in the voluntary commitment:

  1. Active recruitment to expand the pool of candidates
  2. Gender-equitable appointment procedures
  3. Establishment of more gender-equitable remuneration structures
  4. Institutional anchoring of gender sensitization and gender competence
  5. Institutional monitoring
