State­ment by the ARGE dated April 7, 2026

At the Stud­i­er­enden­werk Siegen, we are committed to ensuring that every student at the Univer­sity of Siegen and in our facil­ities feels safe and welcome—regardless of their origin, reli­gion, gender, or social back­ground. We strive for an open, diverse, and non-discrim­in­atory community, guided by the values of our Constitution.

Feed­back from the student body consist­ently shows us how important these values are for a positive community. That is why we expressly support the current state­ment issued by the Asso­ci­ation of Stud­i­er­enden­werke in North Rhine-West­phalia (ARGE):

We are committed to ensuring that open­ness, diversity, and solid­arity are not just empty words, but are tangible aspects of campus life every day.

Exec­utive Director of the Stud­i­er­enden­werk Siegen
