Introduction
...
Eastern Mennonite University actively strives to educate its members on appropriate discourse and behaviors for living and learning in community. The Bias Related Incident Reporting Committee consists of:
vice president for enrollment and student life
director of multicultural student services
bias Dean of Students
Director of Multicultural Student Services
Bias response trained faculty member
associate dean of studentsDirector of Residence Life, Student Accountability, and Restorative Justice
This team receives, monitors, refers, and, as necessary, coordinates university responses to hate and bias related incidents that impact one, all, or a significant portion of the university community.
Formal policy and procedures are outlined in the Standards of Conduct in the Undergraduate Student Handbook, Seminary and Graduate Student Handbook, Lancaster Student Handbook, and Title IX Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct policy. These standards are listed and referenced as bias motivated, prohibited conduct and bias informed procedures and outcomes. The university understands that those with a history of trauma are capable of hurting others due to unresolved hurt; however, this preference for trauma informed processes does not excuse behavior such as harassment or expressions of bias or hate aimed at individuals that violate the Standards of Conduct. Consequently, while the university seeks educational approaches and responses as much as possible, the severity of the violation could result in action up to, and including, permanent separation from the university for those individuals found responsible.
