Bias Related Incident Response
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center & Tolerance.org, an estimated 50,000 HATE CRIMES occur every year.
As part of the "No Room for Hate" campaign, elMundo diversity initiatives has created a new educational workshop to help teach our campus community members about how to prevent bias incidents & hate crimes.
The Review of Higher Education estimates that over 1 MILLION bias incidents occur on college campuses each year.
What do you think?...
Hate Crime or Bias Incident?
(move your cursor over the scenarios for the answer)(a) A campus newspaper accepts and prints an advertisement from an off-campus extremist group proclaiming that Holocaust never happened, that it is a falsehood concocted by Jews desiring public sympathy and government support for the Israeli cause.
(b) A fraternity skit during a Halloween party features the mock lynching of a Black man by a hooded Klansman.
(c) The automobile of a prominent gay student leader is “keyed” in the parking lot. The phrase, “Die faggot!” is carved into the car’s finish.
(d) Two students, one African-American and another Latino, have an argument in a hallway of the student union over a monetary debt. The argument escalates when ethnic and racial epithets are used. Soon the two are involved in a fist fight. Both suffer minor injuries.
Consider attending a 2-hour workshop to learn more about bias incident & hate crime prevention.
There are no BIAS HURTS workshops scheduled at this time. Please check back in the near future for an updated schedule.
