Student Handbook: Bias Policy

Relevant Excerpt

At Union College, a bias act is an action taken that is motivated, in whole or in part, by bias against an actual or perceived aspect of diversity, including, but not limited to, age, ancestry or ethnicity, color, creed, physical or mental disability, gender, pregnancy, gender identity or expression, height, immigration or citizenship status, marital or domestic partnership status, national origin, race, religion, religious practice, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, weight, familial status, genetic predisposition, veteran or military status, status as a victim of domestic violence, or any other category protected by applicable law. 

Union College may respond to bias acts through education, discipline, or both. Bias acts (or perceived bias acts) will be addressed by the College on a case-by-case basis.
