What is a Bias Incident?
An act of bigotry, harassment, or intimidation that is motivated in whole or in part by bias based on an individual鈥檚 or group鈥檚 actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, or sexual orientation.
