The department of Dutch Studies of the Faculty of Humanities, Eötvös Loránd University, is fully committed both to promoting freedom of expression and to respecting the rights and dignity of all people regardless of their ethnic or socio-cultural background, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and political or other beliefs. As we consider diversity and respectful communication essential, we expect the same commitment from all the students and staff of the department in their everyday and professional discourse and behaviour.
