Institutional Commitment to Non-Discrimination
Sakarya University promotes a fair, inclusive and non-discriminatory working environment through its institutional policies and human resources practices.
The University's Human Resources Policy establishes equal opportunity and inclusiveness as guiding principles in staff training and professional development, while emphasising performance-based career advancement and recognition.
Institutional Implementation and Evidence
The Human Resources Directive, particularly Article 5, provides a formal framework supporting equal opportunities in personnel development.
In addition, the University's Institutional Policies emphasise gender equality, respect for human rights and employee welfare.
These commitments are documented in the 2025 Administrative Performance Programme and the 2025 Annual Activity Report, confirming their inclusion in the University's institutional policy framework during 2025.
Legal Framework for Equal Treatment
Sakarya University's employment practices are supported by applicable national legislation, including Article 5 of Labour Law No. 4857, which establishes the principle of equal treatment and prohibits specified forms of employment discrimination based on language, race, colour, sex, disability, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion and sect, among other grounds.
