UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The University’s top priority is the safety and well-being of its students, faculty and staff. Acts of hate and bias are antithetical to this priority and to our goal for equity, inclusion and belonging. We will continue to do all we can to prevent biased and hate-filled behavior in our community and will work together to promote a safe, inclusive and respectful environment for all members of our Penn State family.
Anyone who experiences or witnesses bias on our campuses is strongly encouraged to report it online at https://equity.psu.edu/report-bias. Additional resources are available for all in our community in need.
