Summary/Abstract: Given that the University of Ljubljana (UL), Slovenia’s largest and oldest university, advocates for equality of opportunity and autonomy, the question arises as to how the Faculty of Theology, a member of the University, applies those values and whether gender stereotypes and connections between the Faculty and the Church influence the academic field. The goal of this paper is to summarise and demonstrate the implications of Theological Faculty’s unique status that results from its relationship with the Roman Catholic Archbishop – who also serves as the Grand Chancellor of the Faculty of Theology. To contextualise the debate and highlight the distribution of gender diversity among academic staff at the UL, a selection of statistical data will be used on gender diversity of academic staff at other faculties and academies members of the university.
