Relevant Excerpt

When the College is made aware of an incident or situation potentially involving identity-based bias or harm, the report will be reviewed by the Identity-Based Harm Review Team. If the review team determines that an incident report describes actions potentially indicating identity-based bias that is not discrimination, harassment, or a violation of the honor code, yet is still harmful to the reporting individual or the community, the Bias Education Response Team will be notified and will develop a response.

...

The contents of the Bias Handbook are currently being reviewed and will be re-drafted to reflect changes and updates in staffing, resources, and practices.

College policies that govern the College's response to concerns of identity-based harm have not changed and remain available to all, namely the Nondiscrimination and Harassment Policy and Interim Title IX Policy.
