What is a bias incident?
A bias incident or hate incident is an act of hostility motivated by racism, sexism, religious intolerance, or other prejudices that is intended to target and marginalize people based on their social, political, racial, gender, or religious identities. Bias incidents cause harm, confusion, and frustration within the community, and restoring campus trust takes time and effort.
