Bias/Hate Reporting Form


More information about Gustavus's response to reports can be found at HERE. 

Bias incident: An expression of hostility, whether spoken, written, symbolic or other form, which is motivated by some form of prejudice based on the victim's actual or perceived belonging to a protected class. Some examples of bias incidents are, but not limited to: graffiti or signs, written/verbal slurs or threats, physical or verbal confrontation, gestures, and/or threatening physical or digital communications.
Hate crime: A criminal act that involves assault, vandalism, arson, and/or murder against a person, group, or its property, which is motivated by the aggressor’s bias towards federally protected classes.
Protected classes: The United States, under federal law, and the state of Minnesota protect certain individuals from being discriminated against based on their membership to certain racial, ethnic or social groups. These groups are listed below in the Incident Summary section.
