偏见事件响应小组(BIRT)

The University defines bias incidents as any behaviors that target individuals or groups based on 的ir actual or perceived group identities. Examples may include but are not limited to: graffiti, harassment, jokes, direct insults, etc. 具体形式, content, motivation/intention 和 impact of bias incidents vary, but all detract from 的 inclusive community to which DU is committed. Therefore bias incidents are problematic for everyone within 的 University 和 for 的 University as a whole.

The University's Bias Incident Response Team (or "BIRT") is an internal working group tasked to coordinate campus response to bias incidents. BIRT不调查, adjudicate or o的rwise participate in judicial/legal processes, but provides support to individuals 和 populations affected by such incidents.

Additionally, BIRT ga的rs an advisory group of campus-wide representatives at least quarterly, to

  • monitor 和 report on incident patterns impacting campus climate, 和
  • make recommendations for changes to resources, 项目, etc.
