Bias Incident Reporting Form


Thank you for taking the time to complete this bias incident reporting form.

A bias incident is defined at SMU as an action, behavior, or expression against an individual’s or group’s actual or perceived identity. Individuals or groups may experience bias based on, but not limited to: age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, disability, gender identity and expression, national origin, genetic information, or veteran status. Such bias incidents may be intentional or unintentional and affect the individual or SMU community.

The University is committed to addressing incidents of bias impacting SMU community members on and off campus. SMU appreciates your help in bringing these incidents to the University’s attention. This form can be completed by those who experience bias-related incidents or witnesses to them. Please include as much information as possible. All reports will be kept confidential to the extent possible. You also have the option to file anonymously. If you wish to be contacted, please include your name and email address at the top of this form. You also have the right to file a complaint of discrimination with SMU’s Office of Institutional Access and Equity. Call the office at 214-768-3601 or visit www.smu.edu/iae.
