The PLUS stands for responsibility in an open society

Foto: PLUS - Top-Navi - Science in research plays an outstanding role in solving the central problems of our society. The world of academia is necessarily discursive and thrives on the diversity of people and positions. The PLUS is committed to its role in democratic society, to guarantee and promote diversity, to fight for human rights and against discrimination. Within the university environment it is not always easy to find the right balance between discursive openness, allowing talk on controversial issues and rejecting discriminatory or anti-democratic positions. Dialogue builds the foundations for successful balance and negotiation. Recent media coverage has discussed the suspension of a seminar planned for the summer semester at the Department of Philosophy at the Faculty of Cultural and Social Sciences. The course in question deals with the topic "Ethical Interventions: Boycott Strategies - For & Against" and deals with the anti-Israeli boycott movement BDS.
