Bias Incident Reports

A student reported that comments and markings were made on posters in the Women's Center.  The content included references such as "in God we Trump," crossing out "Black" and substituting "White" on a  #BlackLives Matter poster, "Heteronormativity Plz," "I 'heart drawn' Jesus," and "I 'heart drawn' Trump," and the name "Donald Trump" written on a sign-up sheet. Some of these markings represent bias. Defacing posters in the Women's Center speaks to more than expression and is a disrespect of property. The Director for LGBTQ and Gender Resources, along with Interns, sent a message to their Listservs.  President Bradley also made a statement in her weekly email to students. Safety and Security is also monitoring the vicinity to determine who might be responsible for the incident.  As of October 11, 2017 no one had been found responsible. Log entries may be updated and amended as new information emerges.
