Bias Incident Reporting

Indiana University wants to be a place where all students, faculty, and staff feel safe to engage on our campuses. IU Columbus encourages every member of our Crimson Pride to report their experiences of bias-based treatment. If you choose not to do so, your privacy will be respected.

What is a Bias-based Incident?

Any act of discrimination or harassment based on:

  • Race
  • Ethnicity
  • Religion
  • Gender
  • Gender Identity
  • Sexual Orientation
  • Disability

What is the Purpose of Reporting Bias Incidents?

  1. To document bias-based incidents on campus in order to better understand the reality of discrimination in the IU community.
  2. To assist and help provide resolution to bias-based incidents for those who request a response.
IU Columbus is committed to creating welcoming, inclusive, and respectful campus communities where everyone can thrive and do their best work—a place where all are treated with civility and respect. If you experience, witness, or are aware of a bias incident, report it. Reporting an incident allows us to support those impacted and take steps to prevent future incidents. Learn more or report a bias incident.
