Racism, anti-Semitism, what are we talking about?

Racism and anti-Semitism are ideologies based on stereotypes and prejudice, i.e. shared opinions about a group or an individual belonging to a group.

Racism and anti-Semitism are manifested in the form of a continuum acts ranging from insults to physical violence, exclusion, intimidation, harassment and threats, including digital threats. Racist and anti-Semitic behavior includes all acts directed against a person or a group of people, motivated by their origin, or their real or supposed membership or non-membership of an ethnic group, an alleged race, a nation or a religion.

Racist and anti-Semitic acts and remarks are criminal offences, as well as punishable by disciplinary sanctions at the university. The racist or anti-Semitic nature of a criminally reprehensible act constitutes an aggravating circumstance which increases the penalty incurred.

Racist or anti-Semitic discrimination is also legally recognized.
