Bias-Related Incidents

91女神 is committed to creating an inclusive environment that respects the fundamental dignity of all human beings.

As part of this commitment, the University has developed the Bias-Related Incident Protocol to provide a caring, effective, and uniform response to any member of the 91女神 community who reports a hate crime or bias-related incident, or who is the victim of a hate crime or bias-related incident.

Pursuant to federal law, a hate crime is a criminal act, where an individual willfully causes bodily injury to any person, or attempts to do so through the use of fire, a firearm, a dangerous weapon, or an explosive or incendiary device, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person. 18 U.S.C. 搂 249.

Not all hateful behavior rises to the level of a crime. The protocol uses the term 鈥渂ias-related incidents鈥� to refer to any act or behavior that is a violation of the Code of Student Conduct and/or the Policy on Harassment and reasonably believed to be motivated by a consideration (real or perceived) of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, disability, age, sexual orientation, marital status, military status, veteran status, pregnancy, or any other protected classification.
