Humboldt State University’s bias response process exists to provide a confidential, safe space where a target of bias may have their voice heard; to contribute to a campus climate of civility, respect and social justice; and to ensure that bias incidents are met with a comprehensive response. 

HSU’s Bias Response Team (BRT) exists to support those who have experienced or witnessed an act of bias, and to assist the university in responding to bias/hate incidents. The BRT also gathers information about bias incidents and hate crimes on our campus, and recommends best practices in terms of policy, action, and education in relation to bias and hate. 

The BRT’s primary roles are to provide a confidential, safe space where a target of bias may have their voice heard, to contribute to a campus climate of civility, respect and social justice, and to ensure that bias incidents are met with a comprehensive response.  The Bias Response Team does not adjudicate matters itself; it can and will help those involved in bias incidents connect with appropriate offices on campus for full resolution of issues. 

Please join us in our efforts to create the most welcoming and supportive campus that we can create.
