Mission

The Juniata College Bias Response Team is charged with developing appropriate educational responses to campus issues which may arise from instances of intolerance and/or biased behaviors by working with a group composed of students, faculty, and administrators.

The Bias Response Team serves as a safe and confidential resource for members of the Juniata community to raise immediate concerns regarding specific instances of harassment or other acts of bias-based behavior that appear to violate Juniata's commitment to developing a campus community that celebrates and actively supports diversity along a variety of dimensions including race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, ability/disability, veteran status, family status, and skin color.

The Bias Response Team is neither a judicial nor disciplinary body. It does not decide corrective or punitive actions nor does it “hear cases” in the way a judicial body may. The Bias Response Team’s purpose is to support and educate. When the team receives reports in which details suggest violations of campus conduct codes or criminal behavior, other bodies are notified. Even as other investigations may occur, the Bias Response Team often persists in developing appropriate educational responses and providing support to individuals involved or effected by the incident.
