Sakarya University (SAU) possesses a comprehensive and strictly enforced policy, articulated within its Human Resources Management and Sustainable Development Goals documentation, explicitly aimed at eliminating all forms of discrimination in the workplace. This policy maintains a firm Commitment to Equality and Non-Discrimination by strictly prohibiting unequal treatment based on a wide range of characteristics, including religion, sexuality (sexual orientation), gender, age, language, race, or any other personal characteristic. The University mandates fair treatment across all employment processes, including hiring, promotion, and salary determination, ensuring that its practices align with Turkish national legislation such as the Civil Servants Law No. 657 and the Higher Education Law No. 2547. SAU views any discriminatory action—including those based on gender, age, or sexual orientation—as a severe disciplinary offense that will lead to an investigation and potential criminal sanctions. To ensure compliance and accountability, the University provides a mechanism for employees to report concerns or complaints, allowing submissions either by providing identification or anonymously through the Quality Management Information System or suggestion boxes, with guarantees of confidentiality and protection for those reporting discrimination under disciplinary regulations.
