In 2009 she was elected by the Senate of the Medical University of Innsbruck in the three-person proposal for the position of Rector, but the committees decided against the Rectorate in which Hochleitner would have been included. The Federal Equal Treatment Commission established an alleged discrimination on the basis of gender, but the Innsbruck Higher Regional Court rejected the appeal of Ms. Hochleitner on grounds of gender discrimination in the election of the Rector in 2009 and does not allow an appeal to the Supreme Court. Neither the Arbitration Commission of the Medical University of Innsbruck nor the courts could have followed the opinion of the Federal Equal Treatment Commission, which saw discrimination. In May 2012, her lawsuit was dismissed in the claims for damages before the Innsbruck Labor and Social Court.
