Relevant Excerpt

Bias incidents are instances of verbal or non-verbal conduct or behavior that is threatening, harassing, intimidating, discriminatory, or hostile.  This can be an incident you have directly experienced.  It can also be an incident witnessed as a third party against any person, group, or property which you believe discriminates, stereotypes, harasses, or excludes anyone based on some part of their identity.  Examples of such identities can range from, a person’s age, skin color, ability status, gender, gender identity, height, weight, marital status, national origin, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status.  Bias can also be reported in confidentiality and anonymously.

Have you witnessed or experienced an act which you believe discriminates, stereotypes, harasses or excludes anyone based on some part of their identity? Don’t be silent when you feel or know something is wrong. Report the incident here.
