The target audience for these recommendations is university management and university staff responsible for structural measures, digital channels, lecture halls, diversity offices, etc. With the help of the checklists, any barriers can be identified so that they can be removed in a targeted manner. Without such a general approach, those affected must find individual solutions for their needs. This causes unnecessary stress and generates additional work on their part. We would like to see a university that recognizes everyone’s needs.
