Hate/Bias Response Team

Towson University has established a Hate/Bias Response Team to provide a coordinated multi-disciplinary response to acts of hate/bias. The Hate/Bias Response Team shall meet on a periodic “as needed basis” to review and respond appropriately to reported hate/bias incidents.     

Core Hate/Bias Response Team

The composition of the response team is as follows:

• Director of Public Safety, University Police, 410-704-3383
• Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs, Center for Student Diversity, 410-704-2051
• Special Assistant to the President for Diversity and Equal Opportunity, 410-704-2360
• University Counsel, 410-704-4008
• Director, University Relations, 410-704-2230

It is the responsibility of the Core Hate/Bias Response Team to identify any patterns, trends or upsurges in hate/bias activity. The Special Assistant to the President for Diversity and Equal Opportunity will bring these patterns to the attention of the Diversity Coordinating Council, and work with the group to develop action-oriented steps to address identified patterns.

Auxiliary members of the Core Hate/Bias Response Team will be called upon on an “as-needed” basis depending upon the nature of the incident and the parties involved.
