Bias Education Response Team-Report

Manhattan College is committed to fostering a safe and welcoming campus community that respects the dignity of all persons. 

Students and employees who have been the targets of, or who witness a hate or bias incident may use this online form to make the College aware of these incidents. The Bias Education response team is committed to providing an educational, rather than punitive, response to incidents of hate and bias in an effort to increase reporting. 

When reporting hate or bias incidents through this form, please also note the following:

  • Your confidentiality and trust is very important to us. We will make every effort to respect your privacy. Please be aware, however, in certain circumstances involving safety or criminal action, we may not be able to guarantee complete anonymity. Regardless of the situation, matters are handled discreetly and in conformity with College privacy policies, and information about individuals or situations will only be shared with individuals with a legitimate need to know. The College also has anti-retaliation policies that protect individuals who report incidents or cooperate in an investigation.
  • Anyone reporting an incident through this portal should provide either a phone number or an e-mail address so that we may contact you if there is a need for clarification or if additional questions or concerns arise. Also, if you want to receive a copy of your report, you will need to enter an email address in the top section.


If you wish to make a formal report that would initiate an investigation and a possible disciplinary process instead of a bias response team report please contact the offices below.  Please note that the initiation of a formal investigation takes precedence over any bias team report.  
Students:   The Dean of Students Office: deanofstudents@manhattan.edu
Employees: General Employment Issues: humanresources@manhattan.edu  or Issues of Diversity, Equity or Gender Discrimination should be sent to epichardo03@manhattan.edu.
If this is an emergency, call 911 or contact Public Safety at 718-862-7333.
