Relevant Excerpt

A communication or action that is stereotypical, exclusionary, mocking, degrading, or invalidating, and usually related to actual or perceived affiliation to what are classified by law as protected classes, as well as other traits. Bias incidents may not constitute a violation of law or College policy, but may, nevertheless, have a significant negative effect on members of the campus community.
