Bias
Bias is a state of mind, tendency, or inclination that prevents unprejudiced consideration of other alternatives. Bias can occur deliberately, intentionally, or unintentionally. It can be directed toward an attitude, an individual, or group regarding (but not limited to) race, color, creed, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, physical or mental ability, political, or religious ideology.
Portland State’s Bias Review Team (BRT) receives reports of bias and works to address bias incidents. You may file a Bias Incident Report, either anonymously or with your identity disclosed through their website linked below. If you would like someone to contact you regarding what you experienced or what you saw or heard, you will need to provide your name and contact information. However, it is still very helpful to provide anonymous information so PSU can know what is occurring and work to improve the climate at PSU.
