Hate-bias incidents are acts that could be interpreted as expressions of hate or bias against a particular group or individual because of their membership, perceived or actual, in that group. Hate-bias incidents range from those considered to be offensive to acts that threaten or cause physical harm. All hate-bias acts are inconsistent with the standards of the UO community, which values respect for others and inclusion of multiple perspectives. Students needing additional support should call 541-346-SAFE or visit safe.uoregon.edu to connect with confidential resources.  Anyone with information about these or similar incidents should call UOPD at 541-346-2919.  No action or inaction by a crime survivor makes that person responsible for their victimization.
