University community reminded of resources to report bias, intolerance

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State is reminding its campus communities of available University resources to report instances of bias or intolerance as current events continue to affect students, faculty and staff.

Penn State faculty, staff, students, and guests who witness or experience acts of bias or intolerance can anonymously report incidents through the University’s Report Bias webpage. Students may also submit a report by calling the 24-hour hotline at 800-560-1637. For behavior that you believe may violate the University’s Student Code of Conduct, contact Student Accountability and Conflict Resolution.

For bias or intolerance incidents where no student is involved, faculty and staff should contact the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access to file an online complaint or call 814-863-0471.

Penn State takes every report seriously and investigates to the fullest extent possible to determine if there is action that can be taken. University leaders will continue to do all they can to prevent biased and hate-filled behavior in our communities.
