Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is committed to making the websites of its domain “uni-mainz.de” as accessible to all users as possible. The legal basis for this is the State Law on Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons (Landesgesetz zur Gleichstellung behinderter Menschen, LGGBehM) and the Act on Equal Opportunities of Persons with Disabilities of Rhineland-Palatinate (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung Rheinland-Pfalz, BITV RP).

This statement was created on September 23, 2020.

ites of the domain “uni-mainz.de” are currently designed to be as accessible as possible within the scope of technical feasibility. During the upcoming university-wide website relaunch, the aim will be to further adapt the layout and ensure accessibility for all. Earlier adjustments to the design of the website than that planned would represent a disproportionate burden on Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz as defined in Art. 7 Para. 3 LGGBehM, thus making it currently exempt from the obligation to provide the accessibility specified in Art. 7 Para. 1 LGGBehM.
