Committees and referees

The Toulouse School of Economics has established a network of committees, task forces, and resource persons to ensure a respectful, ethical, and inclusive work and study environment. These initiatives cover the prevention and handling of sensitive situations (harassment, discrimination), the promotion of equality, social responsibility, and adherence to ethical and scientific principles.

Every member of the TSE community can turn to these bodies for support, guidance, or to safely report an unusual situation.

TSE & IAST Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Committee

CARE – Combating Abuse, Respecting Equality

The CARE program ensures that anyone facing situations of violence, discrimination, or harassment has the opportunity to be heard in a safe environment.

It is based on two complementary bodies:

• The CARE Support Unit: dedicated to listening and providing support
• The Case Management Unit: responsible for analyzing reports and proposing appropriate measures
• The Investigation Unit: called upon, if necessary, to complete the investigation of a case

Individuals are met by a trained support team, composed as much as possible according to their preferences and the context. Discussions take place in a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental setting.
