Sakarya University (SAU) maintains an explicit and publicly accessible non‑discrimination policy for ever one, integrated across institutional governance, employment, and access frameworks. At SAU, no process exists that examines or questions individuals’ sexual orientations or gender identities, nor are individuals required to declare them. The University’s operations, recruitment, and educational access are governed by national and institutional frameworks that prohibit gender discrimination. Under Civil Servants Law No. 657, applicable to all public institutions, there is no gender‑based distinction in the employment of permanent staff, academic personnel, or administrative workers. SAU’s Sustainable University Policy, 2023–2027 Strategic Plan, and Social Equality Regulation collectively affirm this principle and extend it to every area of university life, ensuring full and equal participation without prejudice.
SAU also integrates gender equality into its formal curriculum through a course titled “Gender and Equality Policies” . The course introduces core concepts and policy approaches to gender equality and supports students in recognising and addressing discrimination, aligning academic learning with the University’s institutional commitments to inclusion and equal opportunity.
SAU Personnel and Student Access pages integrate these standards into the University’s operational and human‑resources systems. Employment practices explicitly reflect equality, and the YÖK Ethical Principles—a higher‑education sector reference cited on SAU’s portal—confirm that no discrimination is permissible on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
