Bias IncidentReporting
The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, in coordination with the Division of Campus Life, assists the community in reporting incidents through HWS’s Harassment and Discrimination policies. The process, consistent with all incidents of alleged violations of campus policies, ensures a coordinated response, which includes providing affected student(s) appropriate resources and assisting offices in their response. It may include evaluating whether situations impact the campus community as a whole.
Coordinated responses may include, but are not limited to, identification of and referral to appropriate support services and resources (on- or off-campus), resolution measures consistent with HWS processes, and efforts towards wider educational awareness, prevention, and outreach.
"As a residential campus community, HWS places a strong emphasis on living in community. Both in and out of the classroom, we value students, staff, and faculty having a safe space to live, work and thrive while moving towards the goal of leading a life of consequence. It is the responsibility of all community members to ensure they are positively contributing to our HWS, Geneva, and global communities. Sometimes, individuals’ actions come into conflict with our values and policies. Our commitment is to respond to those actions and assist in repairing any harm that occurs between community members.”
