What is the Purpose of a Bias-Related Incident Report?

Bias-related incident reports help Colorado State University monitor success toward our goal to welcome, value, and affirm all of its members. These reports help the University to track trends and patterns, address bias incidents, and improve University campus climate. When information is provided that identifies an individual in connection with reported behavior or a pattern of behavior, the appropriate office at the University will address the incident. If we are provided with contact information for the reporting party or impacted party, someone from the appropriate office will contact the individual or individuals involved. Once that contact has been made, there is no obligation for anyone who was contacted to respond or engage in any formal communication if that is not what they are seeking. Bias incident reports are not intended to replace existing processes for reporting and addressing acts of discrimination, harassment, or violence, including but not limited to, processes of the Office of Human Resources, the Office of Equal Opportunity, Student Resolution Center, Support and Safety Assessment, and the CSU Police Department.
