The University of Da Nang (UD) has solidified its commitment to fostering an equitable and inclusive workplace by enacting new anti-discrimination regulations, a key action taken within the university's 2021-2025 review period. This move strengthens a multi-layered policy framework designed to prevent discrimination and ensure fairness in all employment practices.

The most significant recent development is UD's "Regulations on recruitment, use and management of civil servants," issued on January 28, 2022. This document, which is publicly accessible, explicitly states, "No discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, belief, or religious background in recruitment". The issuance of this regulation confirms that the university is actively reviewing and enhancing its policies to create a barrier-free working environment.

This 2022 regulation is the latest addition to a robust legal framework that governs employment standards at the university. The foundation of this framework is the national Law on Civil Servants, which has long mandated that "officials are not allowed to discriminate based on ethnicity, gender, social class, belief, or religion in any form". This national law is further supported by the university's own Code of Conduct, which requires all staff to uphold civic ethics and standards of good custom.

In a move to ensure transparency and accountability, the University of Da Nang has made these key legal documents available to the public through its online legal portal. This allows for both internal and external stakeholders to view the policies and monitor their implementation, reinforcing the university's commitment to operating with integrity.
