The old Udvalgsv\u00e6relse 3 room in the inner city campus is full of busts and oil paintings of the university&#8217;s greatest scientists. For this occasion, several of the busts have a rainbow-coloured feather boa around their necks. An okay attempt to make them appear a little\u00a0 <secret text=\"As far as we know, as we don't really know what they each had going on in those days \u2026\">bit more queer<\/secret>.\u00a0 They are, nevertheless, in stark contrast to the motley flock of 60 students and staff who have appeared on a grey Tuesday to discuss the university&#8217;s LGBT+ policy, or the lack of it.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Copenhagen will not be overlooked at this year&#8217;s Pride Parade on Saturday 17 August. With over 700 registered, the University of Copenhagen is the largest group in the parade, but the university still has no official LGBT+ policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe University of Copenhagen has a particular responsibility to ensure an inclusive and heterogeneous workplace. Unfortunately, we have not been particularly explicit about our policy on LGBT +, but we would like to change that now,\u00ab says Prorector Bente Stallknecht.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">The panel consisted of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Henriette Laursen, Director of KVINFO<\/li>\n<li>Bjarke Oxlund, Senior Consultant at the Danish Institute for Human Rights<\/li>\n<li>Jannick Friis, PhD At CBS<\/li>\n<li>Sandi Rizvic, student at the University of Copenhagen<\/li>\n<li>Marianne Egelund Siig, strategic management consultant<\/li>\n<li>Sofie Jeholm, PhD at the University of Copenhagen<\/li>\n<li>Alexandra Andhov, assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>That is why the university, together with the Student Council and the Studenterhuset, has organised this debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt is important that we do not sit here in two years time and regret that the University of Copenhagen did not do anything proactively in the LGBTQI+ area,\u00ab says the university&#8217;s new diversity and equal treatment consultant Maria Mortensen.<\/p>\n<p>A panel of seven participants is to discuss how the University of Copenhagen can be more inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe have talked enough. Now it is time to act. And this requires more than a single debate meeting or a parade once a year,\u00ab says the chairman of the Student Council, Mike Gudbergsen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 1 --><br \/>\nThis is the starting point for a one and a half-hour long debate. A debate that is not about whether the university should do something in the LGBT+ area, but about what it can do in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Half of the time is allotted to discussing the challenges that LGBT+ people encounter at the university. The microphone is passed around between the panellists, who are from universities, organisations and the private sector. They all work with gender and sexuality in their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>Director of KVINFO Henriette Laursen says that institutions like the University of Copenhagen have to be proactive: \u00bbIn Denmark we have an idea that we are automatically free and inclusive. This is a big part of the challenge.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>She proposes that the university should get better at supporting research in LGBT+, doing questionnaires among students and staff, and, not least, remembering to be norm-critical in, say, recruitment and teaching.<\/p>\n<h2>Lack of well-being and microaggressions<\/h2>\n<p>An electronic rainbow flag flutters over the panel participants and casts a bluish light over the audience. The power point presentation says that you can send questions to the debate via a \u2018safeline\u2019. The audience has been able to register anonymously, and they have also the opportunity to ask anonymous questions.<\/p>\n<p>It bears witness to the fact that it is still not easy to come out of the closet as a LGBT+ person. Not at the university either, where most people are highly educated, according to Henriette Laursen:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt&#8217;s important to say that this is about well-being. There is no doubt that many LGBT+ people do not thrive in the workplace like their colleagues,\u00ab says the director of KVINFO.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of &#8216;microaggressions&#8217; turns up several times in the course of the debate as a major challenge for LGBT+ people. A microaggression is a commentary or action that expresses a biased attitude to a marginalised group in a discreet and often unconscious manner.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbMicroaggressions are like acid rain on a statue. It is not possible to see it on a daily basis, but over time, it is very damaging for LGBT+ people to be constantly subjected to non-inclusive behaviour. This requires a strong antidote from the top of the organisation,\u00ab says panel participant Marianne Egelund Siig, who works as a strategic management consultant and has previously been a \u2018Head of Diversity\u2019 at the bank Nordea.<\/p>\n<h2>Rainbow flags on all campuses<\/h2>\n<p>Sandi Rizvic can recognise the smaller, prejudiced comments from his daily life at university. As the only student on the panel, he can give examples of behaviour that makes students feel unsafe at a place like the University of Copenhagen. The university must prevent this, he argues:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe most important thing is that universities need to be protected spaces for the students, so they feel safe and welcome. And we need to make sure that we are proactive,\u00ab says Sandi Rizvic, who is also a member of the executive committee of the National Union of Danish Students DSF.<\/p>\n<p>The second half of the debate is about solutions. Here, the audience offered suggestions for making the university more inclusive. An employee proposes that the University of Copenhagen should raise the rainbow flag on all campuses. Right now it is only on the central administration&#8217;s buildings in the inner city.<\/p>\n<p>Sandi Rizvic has also plenty of specific suggestions for where the university should start in formulating a LGBT+ policy:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe universities could introduce gender-neutral toilets on all campuses, educate lecturers and staff in LGBT+ questions, and be more critical of the syllabus and curricula, so that we also meet more diversity in the actual programmes of study.\u00ab<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 2 --><\/p>\n<h2>Compulsory gender teaching<\/h2>\n<p>After the debate, the university offered a glass of champagne, while the rainbow flag was hoisted up over the old Kommunitets-building. Here is where I talk to associate professor at the Department of Biology, Jes S\u00f8e Pedersen. As a staff representative, he has been involved in an <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/the-concept-of-gender-at-the-biology-department-is-old-fashioned\/\">offence case<\/a> at the Department of Biology, where a student criticised the use of biological gender in the teaching. He says that he is not in any doubt that the University of Copenhagen needs a LGBT+ policy:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbAn institution like the University of Copenhagen must have a general policy on LGBT+. The question is how to implement the policy so that it also reaches the individual students out at the faculties,\u00ab says Jes S\u00f8e Pedersen.<\/p>\n<p>At the Department of Biology, they have tried to introduce a course on gender in the Science Theory subject, according to Jes S\u00f8e Pedersen. He proposes introducing compulsory instruction on gender to the rest of the University of Copenhagen in the same way.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbAs a teacher in the field of biology, I think it is very important for the students to understand that gender has many different academic angles. And that the biological one is only one of them,\u00ab the associate professor says.<\/p>\n<p>There is still a little way to go before the University of Copenhagen can come up with major specific initiatives in this area, according to Maria Mortensen, diversity and equal treatment consultant. For the time being, the university has set up a forum on the joint intranet Kunet for LGBT+ staff, and this, with the debate meeting and other initiatives, is to lead to a larger piece of work on the university&#8217;s LGBT+ policies:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe have received lots of good ideas today, which we will continue to work with. But it will be a longer process,\u00ab says Maria Mortensen.<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 3 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 700 people represent the University of Copenhagen at this year&#8217;s Pride Parade, but the university does not yet have an LGBT+ policy.

A debate that is not about whether the university should do something in the LGBT+ area, but about what it can do in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Half of the time is allotted to discussing the challenges that LGBT+ people encounter at the university. The microphone is passed around between the panellists, who are from universities, organisations and the private sector. They all work with gender and sexuality in their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>Director of KVINFO Henriette Laursen says that institutions like the University of Copenhagen have to be proactive: \u00bbIn Denmark we have an idea that we are automatically free and inclusive. This is a big part of the challenge.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>She proposes that the university should get better at supporting research in LGBT+, doing questionnaires among students and staff, and, not least, remembering to be norm-critical in, say, recruitment and teaching.<\/p>\n<h2>Lack of well-being and microaggressions<\/h2>\n<p>An electronic rainbow flag flutters over the panel participants and casts a bluish light over the audience. The power point presentation says that you can send questions to the debate via a \u2018safeline\u2019. The audience has been able to register anonymously, and they have also the opportunity to ask anonymous questions.<\/p>\n<p>It bears witness to the fact that it is still not easy to come out of the closet as a LGBT+ person. Not at the university either, where most people are highly educated, according to Henriette Laursen:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt&#8217;s important to say that this is about well-being. There is no doubt that many LGBT+ people do not thrive in the workplace like their colleagues,\u00ab says the director of KVINFO.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of &#8216;microaggressions&#8217; turns up several times in the course of the debate as a major challenge for LGBT+ people. A microaggression is a commentary or action that expresses a biased attitude to a marginalised group in a discreet and often unconscious manner.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbMicroaggressions are like acid rain on a statue. It is not possible to see it on a daily basis, but over time, it is very damaging for LGBT+ people to be constantly subjected to non-inclusive behaviour. This requires a strong antidote from the top of the organisation,\u00ab says panel participant Marianne Egelund Siig, who works as a strategic management consultant and has previously been a \u2018Head of Diversity\u2019 at the bank Nordea.<\/p>\n<h2>Rainbow flags on all campuses<\/h2>\n<p>Sandi Rizvic can recognise the smaller, prejudiced comments from his daily life at university. As the only student on the panel, he can give examples of behaviour that makes students feel unsafe at a place like the University of Copenhagen. The university must prevent this, he argues:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe most important thing is that universities need to be protected spaces for the students, so they feel safe and welcome. And we need to make sure that we are proactive,\u00ab says Sandi Rizvic, who is also a member of the executive committee of the National Union of Danish Students DSF.<\/p>\n<p>The second half of the debate is about solutions. Here, the audience offered suggestions for making the university more inclusive. An employee proposes that the University of Copenhagen should raise the rainbow flag on all campuses. Right now it is only on the central administration&#8217;s buildings in the inner city.<\/p>\n<p>Sandi Rizvic has also plenty of specific suggestions for where the university should start in formulating a LGBT+ policy:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe universities could introduce gender-neutral toilets on all campuses, educate lecturers and staff in LGBT+ questions, and be more critical of the syllabus and curricula, so that we also meet more diversity in the actual programmes of study.\u00ab<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"MultiImage","images":[{"image":{"ID":90981,"id":90981,"title":"Ung mand m m\u251c\u00a9rkt ha\u2560\u00e8r","filename":"ungmandmmxxxcrkthaxxxer.jpg","filesize":720308,"url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ungmandmmxxxcrkthaxxxer.jpg","link":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/nu-skal-koebenhavns-universitet-have-en-lgbt-politik\/ung-mand-m-m%e2%94%9crkt-ha%e2%95%a0er\/","alt":"For studerende Sandi Rizvic er det vigtigt, at de studerende kan f\u00f8le sig trygge p\u00e5 universitetet.

And that the biological one is only one of them,\u00ab the associate professor says.<\/p>\n<p>There is still a little way to go before the University of Copenhagen can come up with major specific initiatives in this area, according to Maria Mortensen, diversity and equal treatment consultant. For the time being, the university has set up a forum on the joint intranet Kunet for LGBT+ staff, and this, with the debate meeting and other initiatives, is to lead to a larger piece of work on the university&#8217;s LGBT+ policies:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe have received lots of good ideas today, which we will continue to work with. But it will be a longer process,\u00ab says Maria Mortensen.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"Dansk","identifier":"Newsletter","headline":"Receive a weekly newsletter in your inbox","button_text":"Tilmeld nu","class":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":2177,"name":"Academic life","slug":"academic-life","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2177,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":67,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":42,"name":"Education","slug":"education","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":42,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":661,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[{"term_id":2184,"name":"ansatte","slug":"ansatte-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2184,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":712,"name":"Copenhagen Pride","slug":"copenhagen-pride-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":712,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":4,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":713,"name":"LGBTQ","slug":"lgbtq-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":713,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":2185,"name":"personalepolitik","slug":"personalepolitik-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2185,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":714,"name":"Pride","slug":"pride-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":714,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":3,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":1052,"name":"Trivsel","slug":"trivsel-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1052,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"}],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":18,"name":"Feature Article","slug":"feature_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":1200,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/busteflag-1280x853.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91310"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91636,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91310\/revisions\/91636"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
