| The purpose of
the policy and practice of the University of Helsinki regarding equal opportunities
is to promote equality in the academic community and to prevent all discrimination
on grounds of gender, age, ethnic or national origin, religion, belief, sexual
orientation, disability or any other comparative grounds (Regulations Concerning
Equal Opportunities, §1), and, in the spirit of the Act on Equality
between Women and Men, to advance the position of women, particularly in
working life. As an educator of future experts in their fields, the University
must be a forerunner in these issues by creating practices that assure equality
as well as a tolerant atmosphere.
