Addressing Bias Incidents, Crimes, and Complaints
The Bias Response Program was developed to assist members of the Cornell community who believe that they or other members of the university community have been adversely affected by instances involving bias on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or any other protected condition.
If you are the victim of a crime
If you believe you are the victim of a crime, contact the Cornell Police and, if appropriate, other local police agencies immediately, so that the matter can be addressed and support services made available.
If you are a victim of bias / discrimination
If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination in violation of the University's Equal Employment and Educational Opportunity policy or have been the target of activity that you believe constitutes a violation of the Campus Code of Conduct, bring this complaint to the attention of any of the following officials:
- Bias reporting team member
- College harassment advisor
- Judicial Administrator
- University Ombudsman
- Director of the Office of Workforce Diversity, Equity and Life Quality
These university officials will promptly (generally within 24 hours) review the allegations and determine if the information should more appropriately be referred for investigation to another university office, including to the Cornell Police.
If you are not sure which procedures to use
If you believe that you or other members of the university community have been adversely affected by instances involving bias but you are not sure which complaint procedure to use (or the bias is not necessarily directed against a particular individual - e. g. graffiti, postering, etc.), report your concern to the Office of Workforce Diversity, Equity and Life Quality.
