HOW TO CREATE A BIAS INCIDENT RESPONSE TEAM FOR YOUR CAMUS

Hate and bias impacts every college and university. Effective hate crime and bias prevention efforts include away for campuses to report, monitor and respond to bias incidents when they happen. One way for colleges to take responsbility for creating a safe learning environment is by having a Bias Incident Response Team for students, faculty and staff to report bias and ultimately support victims. BIRTs have been an increasing measure for campus safety and retention efforts over the last decade. This webinar will put your campus on track to develop a BIRT by providing an understanding of the impact of a BIRT, guiding principles to developing a BIRT, and proposed BIRT models for your campus.
