At Emory University, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and respectful environment for all members of our community. To that end, Campus Life created Bias Support Services (BSS) for students to report and to be connected to University resources when they have experienced some form of bias.
What is Bias?
Bias refers to the presence of preconceived opinions, attitudes, or prejudices that may permeate interactions, experiences, and academic endeavors in the student experience. Bias is distinct from discrimination, which is prohibited by Emory’s Equal Opportunity and Discriminatory Harassment Policy 1.3 and addressed via the Department of Equity and Civil Rights Compliance (DECRC).
Experiencing bias can be distressing, and we understand that students may benefit from receiving support to help them determine the best way to move forward. At Emory University, we are committed to offering assistance and guidance to those affected by bias, ensuring they have the resources and support they need.
Reporting incidents of bias plays a crucial role in supporting our mission to foster a safe and inclusive environment. By submitting a bias report, you contribute to creating a campus where students feel valued and supported. Your reports help us identify patterns, address concerns, and enhance our community’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, aligning with the university's vision of being “One Emory and Academic Community of Choice.”
If you believe you have encountered a bias incident, we strongly encourage you to submit a report. Initiate a Bias Incident Report by using the button below and selecting "Bias Report" from the drop-down menu. The form offers you the option to upload any supporting documentation, such as screenshots, documents, or pictures.
