Updates to the Bias Incident Report Web Page

The bias incident response web page has been updated to better reflect the process for collecting and inquiring into reports of bias.

A bias incident is defined as conduct, speech, or behavior motivated by prejudice or bias that does not rise to the level of a crime. This could include, but is not limited to, an individual interaction or an anonymous expression (such as a flyer/poster, graffiti, or defacing of property) that is suspected to be motivated by bias.

Any incidents reported that may rise to the level of a policy violation or a crime (including, but not limited to, harassment, bullying, intimidation, physical/verbal threats or attacks, or hate crimes, as defined in RCW 9A.36.080) will be referred to the appropriate College process.
