Bias

When a member of the University of Minnesota Morris community experiences or becomes aware of a possible bias-related incident, the University of Minnesota will provide support and address disrespectful bias and discrimination within our community.  Faculty, staff, and students may use this link to submit an online report. The report can be made anonymously.  If you have been physically threatened or are the victim of a crime, Call 9-1-1 or contact Public Safety.

EOT, Bias and Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form

UReport

UReport provides another way for University community members (students, faculty, staff or others) to report violations of rules, regulations and policies. The report can be made anonymously, however, confidentially reporting or sharing information about sexual misconduct through UReport does not satisfy the obligation of University employees to report incidents of sexual misconduct to the Title IX Office.

To learn more about this obligation or to make a report on the Twin Cities campus, please visit the Reporting page.
