Reporting Bias

Submit a Report

It is advised that the scene of the incident be preserved (vandalism, damage, etc.) until the University Police can investigate. Personal well-being and safety are a priority at the University. If you are involved in, or are a witness to, a bias incident, please make sure you are not in threat of possible or actual physical danger when reporting.

How do I report?

Faculty, staff, students, vendors, and visitors are strongly encouraged to report a bias incident or hate crime to the University.
