The experience of bias could constitute a hate crime in the criminal justice system.

 For definitions of discrimination, harassment, hostile environment, and protected class, under CU policy, please visit this page and go to the bottom.

Regardless of the form, if you feel that you have experienced bias and/or discrimination the Office of Victim Assistance can offer support and inform you of your rights and options.
