Bias Incident Report Form


High Point University is committed to fostering an inclusive learning and living community that actively works to manage and mitigate incidents of bias. This form is for reporting bias incidents and can be completed by victims of bias-related incidents, witnesses, or faculty/staff to whom a bias incident has been reported.

A bias incident is defined as language or actions that demean, degrade, threaten or harass an individual or group based on their actual or perceived race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability or status as a military veteran. Bias incidents include intentional and unintentional behavior that includes but is not limited to, name-calling, stereotyping, belittling, inappropriate joking, and excluding others based upon their actual or perceived identity.

The primary goal is to provide support to the individual or group impacted as well as collect campus climate data to continue to improve the inclusivity of our campus. All reports will be reviewed and follow up will be made by HPU Multicultural Affairs and/or other appropriate departments. In the event that additional investigation is needed regarding potential violations of HPU policy and/or criminal law, a formal investigation will be conducted by HPU Student Conduct or Human Resources.

All reports will remain confidential to the extent possible. While anonymous reporting is available, it may prohibit the capacity of the university to conduct a full investigation of the incident and/or sanction a responsible party.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please contact High Point University Security at 336-841-9111.
