Services

Over time, the CUG has participated in the creation of all the University services dedicated to equality, welfare and inclusion, for which today it plays a monitoring role. Discover the services:

The CUG has its own operating regulations and a six-year term of office.  It is a body with an equal composition: in compliance with gender equality, there is a member for each of the most representative trade unions at the University level and an equal number of representatives of the Politecnico identified by the Board of Directors. Also envisaged is the presence of a representative of the student population and of PhD students.

The Chair of the CUG is appointed by the Board of Directors on the Rector’s proposal. In its current term of office, the chairperson is Tania Cerquitelli and the deputy chairperson is Fernanda Torre e the secretary is Angela Lacirignola.

The composition of the Body can be found here.

The CUG liaises with the Confidential Counsellor (Consigliera di Fiducia), who is an external advisory and assistance figure for cases of sexual or moral harassment or discriminatory behaviour. It is established pursuant to the Code of Conduct for the Protection of the Dignity of Workers and Students, in force at the University.
