Points of Contact and Complaints Office
Complaints under Section 13 of the AGG may only be filed with the complaints office . However, affected individuals may also contact the help desks on an informal basis.
When a complaint is filed, a core team is formed . This team includes representatives from the support centers, ensuring that allegations are evaluated from various perspectives: If staff members are involved, the Human Resources Department and the Staff Council are typically included. If students are affected, the AStA and/or student councils, as well as Department 4 / Student Affairs, are involved. The core team also includes individuals from the relevant academic or administrative units—such as the department or the division—who are not explicitly affiliated with a contact point.
Those affected decide who is included.
