Anyone who has experienced or witnessed a hate or bias incident on campus, in class, or at a campus function, is encouraged to report this incident.
The 抖阴pro community aspires to create an environment that is inclusive and safe for all members of the community. Our campus will always be places of hope and opportunity where all students – no matter who they are or what community they come from – can feel welcome, feel safe to learn, and feel free to express their hopes, their dreams, and their ideas.
Bias incidents undermine our campus’ efforts toward equity and inclusion. They limit our community’s ability to excel in our teaching and learning, and our service to our communities and state. They also impede free and open discourse and our ability to know and learn from one another. Biased and hateful expression causes harm and fractures in our communities that must be addressed.
A bias incident is an act of bigotry, harassment, or intimidation that is motivated in whole or in part by bias based on an individual's or group's actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Bias often stems from fear, misunderstanding, hatred, and stereotypes and may be intentional or unintentional.
抖阴pro has policies, procedures and protocols in place to respond to different kinds of incidents, enabling it to attend to the health and safety of members of the campus community, manage individual complaints or grievances, and adjudicate possible violations of college policies or local, state or federal laws.
Examples of such policies, procedures, and protocols include but are not limited to: Minnesota State policy 1B.1, 1B.3, 1C, the Student Conduct Code, employment agreements, faculty contracts, as well as local, state or federal civil rights laws and regulations.
The Office of DEIJB is focusing on ensuring a welcoming and inclusive campus. This includes proactively creating safe and productive opportunities for deepening discourse and understanding of controversial social, political, and philosophical issues.
Report a bias incident with the online reporting form or contact a member of the DEIJB team.
