In accordance with Section 5 of the Higher Education Act (HGIG), shall establish a women's advancement and equality plan until parity is achieved for women and men with equal qualifications . This plan is valid for a period of six years and is reviewed and monitored every two three-year intervals with regard to the degree of target achievement. The women's advancement plan consists of an inventory and analysis of the employee structure as well as a statistical assessment section that defines binding percentage quotas for staff positions and potential promotions in cases of underrepresentation of women.

The second part of the Women's Advancement and Equal Opportunities Plan serves the purpose of making the goals, processes, and measures for implementing the plan transparent and evaluable. It includes binding guidelines for personnel selection and appointment procedures, as well as measures for gender-equitable personnel development, work-life balance, and the prevention of discrimination against women. These guidelines must be observed by all bodies, committees, officeholders, and other individuals at the university.

The current women's advancement and equality plan, as adopted by the Senate, can be found in the Intrawiki on the pages of personnel development.
