Bias incidents are acts or behaviors motivated by the offender’s bias against any combination but not limited to identities such as age, ancestry, color, disability, gender identity or expression, genetic information, HIV/AIDS status, military status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
While these acts do not necessarily rise to the level of a crime, a violation of state law, university policy, or the Student Code of Conduct, a bias act may contribute to creating an unsafe, negative, or unwelcome environment for the victim; anyone who shares the same social identity as the victim; and/or, community members of the University.
This reporting process is open to all who are the University of Washington Tacoma campus: Faculty, Staff, Students and Visitors.
This process will not replace existing structures on campus, nor should it be used in immediate or emergency situations. For immediate situations please call UWT Campus Safety at 253.692.4416 or for emergency situations please call 911.
