What is Bias?

An act of bigotry, harassment, intimidation, coercion, or damage to property by known or unknown perpetrators that occurs on SSU’s campus or within an area that impacts the SSU community and that one could reasonably conclude is directed at a member or group of the SSU community because of that individual’s or group’s actual or perceived age, color, creed, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any combination of these or related factors.

How to Report an Incident

Sonoma State University encourages all members of the campus community who believe they are victims of a bias motivated incident or crime to notify the Title IX Coordinator by submitting an Bias Incident Report.
