Treat Each other Respectfully, Renate Schubert
The ETH Zurich RESPECT campaign supports its community by raising awareness of problematic behaviors.
Professor Renate Schubert, chair of the Economics Department and head of the Office of Equal Opportunities
at ETH Zurich, outlines an newly launched RESPECT initiative at ETH Zürich to encourage respectful interactions in the university environment, by contrasting respectful and disrespectful behavior directly.
A Community Effort:
The process of bringing the RESPECT campaign to life reflects the spirit of the initiative. Different groups of ETH citizens—students, Ph.D.’s, alumni, research collaborators, professors, the HR department, the equal-opportunity office, security services and the communications office—were involved in developing the key ideas. In addition, a marketing agency made two 90-second videos to promote the full-stop concept and to make clear what respect and the revamped code of conduct are all about. Ful article below.
