Sexual discrimination and other harassing behavior

Škoda Auto University (hereinafter referred to as ŠAU) places great emphasis on providing a safe environment for all its employees, academic staff, and, of course, students. We are committed to ensuring that no unacceptable behavior such as sexual harassment, discrimination of any kind, or gender-based violence, which is often mistakenly associated only with sexual harassment, occurs on the premises of ŠAU.

The school's goal is to create a working and learning environment in which everyone treats each other with respect, understanding, and, above all, decency. 

The issue of inappropriate behavior is addressed in the following documents: 

  • Škoda Auto Vysoké školy o.p.s. Code of Ethics
  • Methodology for dealing with sexual harassment and other types of inappropriate behavior
  • Work regulations

There are two contact persons at ŠAU whom you can contact if you have been a victim of or witness to harassment or discrimination, or if you would like to report any other form of unacceptable behavior. The ombudsmen listed below also serve as contact points pursuant to Section § 42 of Act No. 111/1998 Coll., on Higher Education Institutions, for providing information on measures to equalize opportunities to study at a higher education institution, to prevent and resolve cases of discrimination, and to ensure equal treatment and a safe environment at the higher education institution.
