What is considered a biased incident?

A bias incident refers to language, behaviors, or actions that demonstrate discrimi²ÝÁñÊÓƵ or hate against persons or groups because of race, ethnicity, religion, ²ÝÁñÊÓƵal origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status, or disability.

²ÝÁñÊÓƵ University values an environment that promotes equity, social justice, and inclusion. Bias related incidents are not tolerated in our academic community.

Bias reports related to gender-based discrimi²ÝÁñÊÓƵ and harassment fall under the category of Title IX. Find more information about ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ’s Title IX process.

What happens when you submit a bias report?

All non-anonymous bias reports are documented and/or investigated.  If you submit a report, you will meet with a member of the Dean of Students Office, who will ask additional questions. If the incident violates University policy, it will be referred to the student disciplinary process.  You may submit a report anonymously, the options to resolve the report are more limited.
